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.
