NTSC & PAL/Region 0. The Label MPS (for Musik- Produktion Schwarzwald) is known as the "German Blue Note". The label was established by producer and music enthusiast Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer (also named HGBS) in 1968 in Villingen. Through the 1980s, over 600 Jazz vinyls were released, covering the whole spectrum from Traditional Jazz to Free Jazz and Bossa Nova. For many German Jazz musicians like Albert Mangelsdorff or Wolfgang Dauner, their career started with the music recordings from Villingen. Many famous international Jazz musicians have also released recordings on MPS. To name only a few, there are recordings from Oscar Peterson, George Duke, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie. Elke Baurs documentary MPS- Jazzin The Black Forest is an affectionate portrait of the label and it"s founder. Interviews with many musicians and former colleagues and rare live documents revive a Jazz era and the "Most Perfect Sound". Monitorpop. 2006.
