Joki Freund Yogi Jazz

Tiger Bay is back with another almost overlooked gem from the German jazz scene of the 60s. Joki Freund, the composer and multi-instrumentalist is one of it's most dazzling figures and Yogi Jazz is without a doubt his masterpiece. The influence of Coltrane is clear throughout the album and the sextet, for which he gathered together a group of young European musicians who later would achieve great notoriety, reaches an outstanding 'cool' and original quality of rare beauty.
