Despite Manfred Schoof's various activities over the years, the number of recordings he released under his own name has remained fairly limited. That could be an indication of the high standards he applies to his publications. All the more delightful that Schoof has agreed to a publication of this performance by his second quintet on May 2, 1978 in the Bremen music club "Römer".
"Live In Bremen 1978" captures the Manfred Schoof Quintet at a pivotal moment in European jazz history. This CD presents an electrifying live performance, showcasing the quintet's adventurous spirit and technical mastery. Renowned for blending free jazz with structured composition, trumpeter Manfred Schoof leads his ensemble through dynamic improvisations and intricate arrangements that highlight each member?s virtuosity. The recording is both a testament to the creative energy of late-70s German jazz and an essential document for fans of progressive music.
