ERNST-LUDWIG PETROWSKY - AMIGA 855621

Another gem from the DDR. Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky with different line-ups.
After several LPs on FMP under his own name - his first for AMIGA.

Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky / Klaus Koch / Günter Sommer / Kent Carter / Hans-Günther Wauer / Ulrich Gumpert (on trombone)/ Helmut Forsthoff / Hans Rempel / Joachim Graswurm / Hubert Katzenbeier / Eberhard Weise / Wolfgang Winkler / Jochen Gleichmann

Recordings made between 1974 and 1977.

No reissue at the horizon........but there are several Zentralquartet and a duo with drums available on INTAKT: http://www.intaktrec.ch/petrowsky-a.htm
Each one worth its price and your complete attention.

Spellbound.

    Last week I put my extra copy of Petrowsky's "Ein Nachmittag in Peitz" up on ebay and got no bids. I was surprized to see how little interest there was in a recording that included him playing a duet with Harry Miller, and in a quintet with Sachse, Heiz Becker, Klaus Koch, and Tony Oxley. Anyway, I thank you for this post. Do you want that disc? Give me your address and it will be my pleasure to send it to you as a gift! I really appreciate your effort.

    @ slovenlyeric,

    thank you very much for your kind offer!
    "Unfortunately" I already have this recording.
    I also realised that there is only a moderate interest in Jazz from the DDR. But indeed - this was a very special scene - with its own "style" and idiosyncratic solutions.
    Maybe I can make a surprise.
    I shall send you something.
    If you are intersted please mail me your address.
    Again - thank you.

    Thank you for posting this - and for the fine LP rip it is. His playing really captivates me more than most "free" players. I hear so many influences from Motown to Coltrane, perhaps Brotzmann (the intensity level at times), maybe Stephan Micus, and more all stirred together in his own sound. I am moved to renew my search for his music when funds allow.
    Gracias

    By the way, have you heard Petrowsky's work with Ruf der Heimat? Fantastic!

    Many thanks for that.

    Yes, I do have rather more of the Amiga albums than I thought, but there are also these:
