MODERN JAZZ QUINTET KARLSRUHE "TREES" (Excenter, 1968)









Here is my first contribution to my favourite blog.
Thank you kinabalu and sotise for the invitation.

I wanted to share this LP from the MJQK'HE already for a long time. For me this recording exemplifies the "lost" or better the almost forgotten part of the Free Jazz continuum.

Sadly no reissue is due - at least to my knowledge.
Only one track from "Trees" was reissued on a compilation about german Free Jazz last year.But it is
deleted as well.

I don't want to make more words for the moment. (I post this with 38° celsius fever)
Download and listen. If there is interest I will share more from this group.
If someone wants more information about this group - I will provide you with what I know about this group/musicians.
Sorry for the small picture - it is scanned from a selfmade CD booklet. Also I'm really not an expert in Photoshop et.al.
Please remember it's my "first" - I hope everything will work!
Thanks

  4. Hi there,
    the mediafire file contains a very good cover image. I know it, I'm the original uploader. ;-) You may use it for your blog if you want to.

    Cheers

  8. by the way: I run a small blog, which was mainly intended to provide a few friends with my very own compilations (all sorts of music), but there may be a few records (especially the "Balver Höhle" Box), which could be of interest to you and your readers. Just go here and see for yourself: http://schnickschnackmixmax.blogspot.com/search/label/Jazz

    Cheers

  9. Yeah, I have this LP - it's a doozy. Still looking for Frictions and wouldn't mind hearing some of Joos' other work (his 1st Japo LP is awesome).

    as I have written before I've a list for inconstantsol.
    Among "Frictions" there is a second Scherf on it called "Interaction".
    Also another solo by Joos + Joos' Quartet + "New Jazz Ensemble" with Joos,Konrad,Sell,Roidinger(he is on an excellent trio date with Braxton and Oxley),Bednarek a.o.
    Plus two from "Fourmenonly" the successor from MJQK.And some more...
    The second MJQK will be posted the next few hours.

  14. RE-up is on its way...
    I don't have Free Jazz Group Wiesbaden ‎– Frictions Now or
    Formation s/t (self release 1973 swiss)
    And Svein Finnerud Trio s/t is available from two labels; Jazzhus Disk and on Plastic Strip there's a Box http://www.plasticstrip.no/index.php?/cdvinyl/sven-finnerud-boxset/

    But I can re-up two LPs from the same pool of musicians: Free Jazz Group Wiesbaden "Frictions" and Dieter Scherf Quartet "Interaction" if there is any interest. http://inconstantsol.blogspot.de/2010/09/httpwww.html
