Glmlr says "For the record, and perhaps for those who weren't then born, but also perhaps for Americans too, it's worth taking a moment just to step back and ponder the extraordinary length, breadth, height, depth and width of Gunter Hampel's remarkable contribution to improvised music. Some of his earliest moments were, in my opinion, his finest. His early bands, 1964/65, had some then-unknown sidemen named merely Manfred Schoof, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Buschi Niebergall, and Pierre Courbois. He was one of the original members of the Globe Unity Orchestra, and an early collaborator of Willem Breuker. His 1968 band included an unheard-of guitar player named John McLaughlin. His marriage to vocalist Jeanne Lee brought in a black-American consciousness to his music. His extensive Birth label did much to document not only his own path and direction, mostly on vibes and bass-clarinet, but that of a vast number of ad-hoc collaborators from both continents. In short, this fellow is a walking encyclopaedia of one corner of free-jazz and free improvisation. May the gods bless him."

Thanks, Sotise.

thanks Glmir - will put more rare oop early Hampel up here soon (though it must be said, everyone who enjoyed this should suport him and buy something from his site)
I'll 2nd the thanks. Any Hampel is much appreciated. I haven't seen much of his stuff in the shops, although I did pick up his ESP set a few months back at Dusty Groove. Great record.
I was happy to check *Familie* too. Too bad about the sound on that one, but one cool thing about the lo-fidelity is that Braxton, Hampel, & Lee at times become (for me, at least) almost indistinguishable. Like 3 voices, somewhere between "human" & "instrument."
I got this here for you - and the megaupload-links still working - and believe me: it's great!!!

Thank you!
This appears to be quite an intriguing recording. It's downloading as I type this. I look forward to hearing it!
Thank you.
I particularly liked Symphony No 6.
Out of interest, is 'Michel Waisfisz' the same as 'Michel Waisvisz'?

Is there any chance someone could re-up this in lossless?
I don't THINK it's available on Hampel's website, but then again, his website is a mess!
Thank you.
