Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with Gesprächsfetzen by Marion Brown / Gunter Hampel, released on Calig in 1968

Matthew Wright wrote for Jazz Journal:

"...There’s a pattern here of calm beginnings, sometimes just alto and vibes, feeling their way round each other, joined by other instruments which, after Ambrose Jackson’s trumpet clarion call on Gesprächsfetzen, build to intensity, Steve McCall pushing menacingly and urgently. Likewise, ethereal vibes and percussion interrupt the ongoing storm on Tomorrow Is The Beginning...

...An album of contrasts, exploring the divergence, variation and spontaneity within free jazz at the time."

Heartplants by Gunter Hampel Quintet, released on SABA in 1965.

Inconstant Sol wrote on their blog:

In any discussion of what marks the starting point of European free jazz, this record might be high up on the list. We have posted Francois Tusques' "Free Jazz" in the past which was out in 1965 in France, certainly a turning point in the evolution of French jazz. This combo is German, however, and these are studio recordings from 1964, originally out on the Saba label..

Whether this is "free" jazz as commonly understood, is debatable imho, most of it is fairly melodic...One epithet that might fit, to the extent that these terms carry any determinate meaning, is "structural" jazz and the pieces here certainly are well organised and thought out.
