Free Action by Wolfgang Dauner , released on SABA in 1967. Review by Ken Dryden ...This adventurous session of originals by the pianist includes violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, tenor saxophonist/clarinetist Gerd Dudek, cellist Eberhard Weber, bassist Jürgen Karg, and two drummers, Mani Neumeier and Fred Braceful. Although Dauner is the leader, he treats himself as part of the ensemble and doesn't overly dominate the performances. The music alternates between accessible melodies reminiscent of Charles Mingus in spots, though there is often a quick transformation into much looser frameworks where chord structure and rhythm is quickly abandoned... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om7hOtsDOF0&list=RDOm7hOtsDOF0&start_radio=1 #WolfgangDauner #JeanLucPonty #ManiNeumeier #EberhardWeber #SABA #MusikProduktionSchwarzwald #GerdDudek #Jazz #FreeJazz #Music

Yogi Jazz by Joki Freund Sextet, released on CBS in 1964. (an) almost overlooked gem from the German jazz scene of the 60s. Joki Freund, the composer and multi-instrumentalist is one of its most dazzling figures and Yogi Jazz is without a doubt his masterpiece. The influence of John and Alice Coltrane is clear throughout the album and the sextet, for which he gathered together a group of young European musicians who later would achieve great notoriety, reaches an outstanding “cool” and original quality of rare beauty. - Soundohm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzBnFATPd8I #JokiFreund #EberhardWeber #WolfgangDauner #Music #Jazz #GermanJazz

The exotic disguise adds Neumeier on tabla, though Ponty's slashing violin is similar to his avant-garde leaning records as a leader during this period.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om7hOtsDOF0 #WolfgangDauner #MPS #Jazz #FreeJazz #Music #JeanLucPonty #EberhardWeber #ManiNeumeier #GuruGuru
