Before ░░ joining that band, Kriegel had been known as a formidable jazz talent ░░ since his teenage years with vibraphonists Fritz Hartschuh and Claudio ░░ Szenkar. ░░ ░░ Spectrum was issued by MPS, the visionary label that issued ░░ groundbreaking recordings by everyone from Oscar Peterson and Monty ░░ Alexander to George Duke and Peter Herbolzheimer. Kriegel's sidemen here ░░ include British pianist John Taylor on Rhodes, Peter Trunk on upright and ░░ electric bass and cello, Dutch percussionist Cees See, and master drummer ░░ Peter Baumeister. ░░ ░░ He wrote everything on the date. "Zoom" is a riff-tastic opener with ░░ Kriegel playing sitar as well as electric guitar, with Taylor's funky ░░ vamps, See burning on tablas and congas, and Baumeister breaking up a ░░ storm. This is jazz rock fusion at its very best. "More About D" ░░ commences with shakers, spacy Rhodes, and a pizzicato bassline. When ░░ Kriegel enters it becomes knotty, serpentine fusion, with loads of free ░░ jazz elements alternating with Eastern modes, walking and swinging ░░ post-bop, and more throughout its ten-minute duration. It features some ░░ of the guitarist's finest playing on the recording and delivers a ░░ portrait of his holistic musical vision. ░░ ░░ "Suspicious Child, Growing Up" reveals that Kriegel had heard, and ░░ apparently loved, the Allman Brothers Band. Its meld of acoustic and ░░ electric country blues, underscored by soulful, Stax-like electric piano ░░ and rumbling bass and percussion, gives a wide-angle view of its ░░ composer's lyricism. Closer "Strings Revisited" invert the solo ░░ capacities of cello and guitar as lead instruments with Trunk playing his ░░ instrument like a guitar, before he and Kriegel fluidly exchange fours ░░ and eights with some killer brushed breaks, rolls, and fills from ░░ Baumeister, as Taylor's piano impressionistically paints the frame before ░░ taking a smoking post-bop solo full of nuanced arpeggios and legato ░░ phrasing. ░░ ░░ Kriegel enjoyed a long, fruitful career with MPS and it's these records ░░ which define his legacy as a creative, restless musician who explored all ░░ types of jazz, rock, and world music on every recording he made for the ░░ label. That said, Spectrum is special for its ideas, boldness, ░░ confidence, and no-boundaries approach. As a result, it holds up ░░ generations later as a true jazz-rock classic. ░░ ░░ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Bdoi73hqwrpp7q6s7cfx4il3vzq ░░ ░░█ ░░███ ░█ ░░░░██ █▓█ ████░ ░░░░░██ y o o v e e y o o █████ █████ ░░░░░░██ g o t t h e ▒████░ ██▒▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ░ ██▓██ ▓█▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ████ ▒▓███ ▒███ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ ░███████ ████░ ░███ ░░░░░░░█ ░███░███░█ █░███░███ █████████▒ █████ ██ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████████ █████ █ ░░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██████████████████ ████▓ ░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ████████████████████▒ ░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓██████▒▒▒▒███████░ ░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓█████▒███████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ █████▒▒░████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██▓██▒██▓███▒ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░███░█ ░███ ▒███████ /─────────────────────────\ ░░░██ ███ ░| shouts 2 all the groups |░ ░░░░██ ████ ░| putting out |░ ░░░░░██ █████ ░| quality music |░ ░░░░░░███ ████▒ \─────────────────────────/ ░░░░░░░▓▓█████████████▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
