Thanks to newly found master tapes, label Garden of Delights released a CD version of "Fly Away" in 2002, which contains a bonus track not found on the original LP. The CD is a collection of superb melodic symphonic prog with spacey vibes and hooky compositions. It features lots of Mellotron, crisp percussion, deep bass lines and a surprisingly strong English flavour for a German product. Overall, it is quite an impressive release for a little known band.
The members of this band from Oberhausen, Germany, met around 1972. By the mid-70's, they had become a fine group of self-taught musicians, except for one of the two guitarists who had some classical guitar and cello training. They made a name for themselves when they provided live accompaniment to Stanley Kubrick's film "7117" at the Oberhausen Short Film Festival…

The legendary German progressive jazz-rockers release their 2020 full-length.
Next to Embryo, Kraan are among those German groups who include psychedelic, sometimes ethnic elements to their distinctive, innovative jazz rock. At the beginning of their career, started in 1970, Kraan free form jazz rock was really into jam sessions, totally improvised, mainly instrumental (featuring sax sections and many guitar/bass solos). Their self title album was experimented with ethnic, psychedelic/acid tastes and discreet electronic manipulations. Since their debut album and with their two following "Wintrup", "Andy Nogger" the band has demonstrated with interest, dynamism and humour how can we make fusion / jazz with addition of influences from everywhere…

Piano-Drums Duos are the preferred playing arrangement of pianist Irène Schweizer. Her mastery of duets with important drummers of contemporary jazz are documented on numerous Intakt CDs. Han Bennink, Pierre Favre, Louis Moholo, Günter Baby Sommer, Andrew Cyrille and Joey Baron among them. The Chicago drummer Hamid Drake, born in 1955, and Irène Schweizer, born in 1941, have performed together on numerous occasions both in Europe and Chicago. Together they have appeared on the Intakt CD "Irène Schweizer-Fred Anderson-Hamid Drake". At the 40th anniversary festival "Kontrontationen in Nickelsdorf" (Austria), Schweizer and Drake were the highlight of the event. A celebration of the moment and a declaration of love to South African songs along with their thrilling energy and rhythmic lightness produced a firework of improvisation. A parade of successful interplay. The CD Celebration is released on the occasion of Irène Schweizer's 80th birthday (2. Juni), accompanied by a catalogue of the pianist's works on Intakt Records.
