HERBERT JOOS & BERND KONRAD "SDR COMMISSIONS, 1978"

Here's a bit for Xmass - but please do not 'open' before tomorrow ;-)
"Farbspiele" is "colour play" in English whereas "Versuch 2, einem Traum die Wahrheit zu verschweigen" means "second try to hide the truth from the dream". ("verschweigen" means "to keep/remain silent")

4. Versuch 2, einem Traum die Wahrheit zu verschweigen (Konrad) 10:31

Performed live in 1978

All tracks are compositions ordered by the Süddeutsche Rundfunk to feature Joos and Konrad as composers and to give them the opportunity to perform with larger ensembles.
- on tracks 1 + 2 the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra and on tracks 3 + 4 the Erwin Lehn Orchestra, (which was the SDR's radio jazz orchestra at that time and included a lot of brilliant jazz musicians) - therefore they were also able to perform (besides their usual radio entertainment music business) in more avantgardistic contexts.

HERBERT JOOS QUARTET "KERCHAK SUITE" (PLÄNE, 1980)

The music from Herbert Joos has clearly mellowed on this lp from 1980.
But listening closely to MJQK and FOURMENONLY it seems already primed then.
However - he has a distinct sound. The cover is again from Joos himself.
