Another "lost" gem from the GDR - never reissued in Germany.
All compositions provided by one of the Kühn brothers except "Sie gleicht wohl einem Rosenstock" (~ 'she resembles - no doubt - a rose tree'), which originally is a folksong.

This is a nice session -- very much mellower than the one with Surman etc. and even than Impressions of New York.
nice. much gratitude
This is a collector's item! Thanks so much for posting it.

Thanks a lot, these old AMIGA are not easy to find.
Excellent album.
Cheers
Good to hear Urbaniak before he quit reeds. Thanks.
Thanks for posting this. I've always had the impression that Joachim was more of a modernist than (older?) brother Rolf, and this early work continues to confirm that. I'll have to hear "Sunday Morning" on this blog next.
And per another poster's comment about Urbaniak on reeds, I believe he also worked in Krzysztof Komeda's group with Tomasz Stanko in the same timeframe...

Whoops, I meant to type "Monday Morning" in my last post - must have been the Ellington reference on that page, sorry ;-(

This album is so very very good. Many thanks and so much gratitude for this seriously hip blog. Cheers.
Thanks a lot. Not commented much but really appreciated
This LP is now reissued in Germany for about 10,- euro....more Amiga Jazz to follow...
