Klatt is pretty much forgotten even home in Germany, I discovered him by accident a few years ago and have really liked everything I heard, I have four of his albums by now and some more sideman work, one of the very few people in German jazz of the 80s and 90s that interest me... there's a nice documentary about him but even native English speakers Marty Cook and Paul Grabowsky are forced to speak German in there (which they do extremely well)

 

edit/ps: around the 1:00 mark of the movie (not this youtube video), you can hear a frustrated Peter Wiessmueller (Enja/Tutu) present some of the Klatt records he was involved with including Elephantrombones but especially the last one, a digipack CD where Klatt insisted on a non-rectangular shape and on putting a different little artwork on every single copy... 

Thanks Niko

Thanks for the link to Klatt documentary. Very strong player. I have one of his CDs, will get more.

A similar story of Johannes 'Jo' Barthelmes, an excellent German tenor/soprano player of the same generation (born in mid-'50s) who initially enjoyed widespread critical acclaim, recorded of couple of excellent albums and then completely dropped out of music for 20+ years. He unexpectedly reemerged a couple of years ago and plays well:

never even heard of him - I started following jazz only in the second half of the 1990s when his and Klatt's stars had almost faded ... and then left Germany before his comeback...

Too good albums. I was at the A Night Walking gig that makes up that recording, fabulous night's music. Enjoy

Finally bought the LP of Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Karyobin

Long time want off the list

Yes, finally jumped. Prices only seemed to be heading one way and I sold a heap of old non-Jazz LPs recently so had a decent fighting fund.

Oh dear. I may have accidentally fallen off the wagon. Please don't tell my family.

No shame in Discogs surely

It's a great album and just sometimes it has to be done...how the kids will take to bread and water for the rest of the month is a different matter altogether 

[Rabshakeh]

My only consolation is that, with this purchase, my 'Evil Jazz' shelf is now finally full. One in one out from here on in. 

And the kids didn't really need those new shoes.

'Evil Jazz' shelf, interesting concept

'Evil Jazz' shelf, interesting concept

My record collection is small and split across three shelves. The shelves are "Nice Jazz" (also including some Classical), "Evil Jazz" and "Not-Jazz". The evil jazz section is divided off so that my wife knows not to play those records when friends around, although she sometimes does for effect.

Oddly the 6 year has recently started to explore Evil Jazz. Not sure what he really gets out of it.

Makes perfect sense now you explain it.

I'd have Karyobin in 'Nice Jazz', it's not nearly as scary as it's reputation my suggest.

Now that Doyle, definitely 'Evil Jazz'.

My partner has a similar categorisation, 'Evil Music' for all Jazz...
