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

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. 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....

Wolfgang Dauner – Output (1970, Germany)

Our next spotlight is on number 1062 on The List, submitted by @soundclamp.

This album is like a 38-minute reset button. A 38-minute palate cleanser. A 38-minute-wide space for German pianist Wolfgang Dauner (later of United Jazz + Rock Ensemble et al.), American jazz drummer Fred Braceful (later of Nurse With Wound-listed band Exmagma et al.), and German bassist Eberhard Weber (later prolific solo and collaborative artist, especially with other ECM label artists and Kate Bush[1]) to experiment the heck out of some free jazz. A 38-minute pause to consider how one might shake hands with a voice.

As described on the ECM review blog Between Sound and Space, Output is “[n]ot an easy listen for the faint of heart, but one that will give back what’s put into it and, like the fully opened cover, gathers its power from another dimension.”

Enjoy, this is a great rabbit hole to go down.

Eberhard Weber – Colours Quartet Live 1976

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukrdo696vBc&t=127s

Yellow Fields war das erste Album von ihm, das ich gekauft habe (kurz nach seiner Veröffentlichung), nachdem ich Eberhard auf dem Ralph Towner-Album Solstice gehört hatte. Ich hatte gerade mit dem College angefangen und war dabei, die gesamte ECM-Szene zu entdecken. Ich hörte es (und Colors of Choe, das ich mir sofort kaufte) wochenlang ununterbrochen. Es hat meine Art, Musik zu hören, wirklich geprägt. Ich glaube, mein Lieblingsalbum von ihm ist nach wie vor The Following Morning. Was für ein großartiger Komponist und Musiker! – Schreibt David Starns hintenan.

Lyle Mays - 'Eberhard' (cd single) (2021)

A great late #LyleMays posthumous released tribute to #EberhardWeber, orchestral, jazzy, majestic, superb. More and more and more otherworldly gorgeousness. #MaysIsMarvellous 🙃📷🎹
