Back to Theo Jorgensmann with the Clarinet Summit in You Better Fly Away 1980

 

It's a series, as you can see discogged here.

Info for this one:

Clarinet Summit, You Better Fly Away - 1979 live baden baden (with aldo romano & gianluigi trovesi)

live in New Jazz Meeting Baden-Baden Nov. 1979, record released in 1980, no re-issues exist), produced by Joachim Berendt.

Featured clarinet players (also doubling on bass & contrabass cls + Romanian flute: 

John Carter, Perry Robinson, Theo Jörgensmann, Bernd Konrad, Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky, Gianluigi Trovesi

Backing band: Didier Lockwood (vl), Eje Thelin (tb), Stan Tracey (p), J-F Jenny-Clark & Kai Kanthak (b), Aldo Romano & Günter Sommer (d).

Although one would expect regular contemporary jazz with overlong improvisations bordering on the tedious and mentally / physically taxing like a 2-week long holter monitor checking your heart rhythm, the music is actually quite interesting, shockingly creative and well composed. Note the great violinist Didier Lockwood is on here too.

Consider just the opener / title track:

Truly a much underrated album here, along with the Go Ahead Clarinet from earlier. Very well composed music.
