More from Fritz Pauer; 1969 to 1978

His 1970 album was posted here earlier.  It was basically solo piano and of not much interest to me, and the same goes for the 1974 album listed here.  On the other hand in 1971 he created what should have been a phenomenal post-bop/fusion band called "Mythologie" that put out one work.  Unfortunately, it rather stubbornly disappointed me with every turn of phrase wherein I was expecting a little more, from an era when transformational creativity was so prized.  The song called Awakening:





Obviously the flute performance and artistry (Ferdinand Povel), breathtaking.

As a special bonus I have the 1969 NDR Jazz Workshop with him, featuring John Surman.  I know those all-out, all-in jazz fanatics will love that one, as it incorporates a lot of the free jazz and soloing that I find a bit tediously tendentious.  Like the great Finnish jazz musicians, they probably never played on drugs, or with them either.  So much for Lucy in the Sky.
