Romanian born trombonist, composer/arranger Peter Herbolzheimer led one of the most hard-swinging, innovative, successful European big bands with a heavy roster onboard, including Art Farmer, Palle Mikkleborg, Herb Geller, Philip Catherine, Tony Inzalaco, Dieter Reith and virtuoso latin jazz percussionist Sabu Martinez. His 1973 MPS album, Wide Open, remained unissued since the '70s – this first ever all-analogue 45 7" single features the two brassy big-band funk highlights from the LP – 'Babo' and 'That Ol' Bus Smell'.
