[TheJazzySu]

Great , thank you :)

[Revolver2100]

Intense passion absorbing

[josefomx]

No he podido encontrar música tan buena como esta, cuando descubrí el disco "Scales" simplemente me volví fan de Manfred Schoof y su grupo. Muchas gracias por postear esta deliciosa joya musical.

[4ntiIvIon]

He also wrote the song "Die 6 von der Müllabfuhr"

AWESOME!

[MitchMb14]

I like how he fixes his glasses twice and finally just takes them off.

[cardboardmusic]

The music is amazing, but as you said the mustache makes it even better.

Great posting and a new discovery for me, big thanks.

[Pintowine]

Great band, great music, I cannot stop listening Resonance - amazingly modern and inspiring record.

Thanks for this post!

[orangefunk]

@Pintowine you are more than welcome!

[magictom75]

Wow. Schoof and company swirl up an incredible mood in this wonderful piece.

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Well, kudos to your first upload. From the land of Jasper van 't Hof.

[realself1]

it's the collar...

hair too; gets me high

oh yes the music. good bassline, interesting conception, well played

[purpureox]

Maravilloso registro.Tuve la oportunidad de ser el anfitrión en Chile de esta banda exceptuando Jasper que fué reemplazado por Rainer Bruninghaus en piano, de dos conciertos en Santiago y Valparaíso y ansiaba ver alguna vez algo similar al disco " Lines ". Un acierto orange, gracias.

[orangefunk]

Just an update to all fans of this music...

I am informed that music from Manfred's ECM LPs from this period will be compiled into 2 CDs. Details ECM 2093/4 Manfred Schoof Quintet "Resonance". Recordings 1976-79

Now how's that! Fantastic, now I don't need to chase down the LP's :)

[fatherfocus]

alguien ha escuchado algo mejor que manfred schoof quinteto es mi concierto favorito

[orangefunk]

yep me too..

[jacintajacinto]

Wonderful Tune!

I want to  see & listen "For Marianne" MOVIE!!

[orangefunk]

Hi,

Yeah For Marianne wasn't in the broadcast but I think (according to some records at NDR) it was actually in the original recording along with Resonance... just that when they edited for TV they took those tracks out,,,

Probably lost forever... :-((((

Thanks for listening...

[fatherfocus]

a mi banda le faltaba nombre no lo pense dos veces ostinatto

[ceortizce]

que hermosa musica como lo es la del sello japo ecm maestros

[tuppiz]

Sounds a bit like the modern band The Drift.

[ofirharlev]

my god!

it's charles bronson on the trumpet! :O

too bad we couldn't get a better taste of that keyboard. seems quite nice.

[fatherfocus]

la vida en unos minutos

[orangefunk]

Very nice, and deep comment!!!

[loveoverlove]

lol the day i was born :) chilled lol

[memzehni]

This is really something...wonderful!

[fatherfocus]

qhat keyboard is this??????????????? alan parson have this sound

[orangefunk]

Its a Yamaha YC-20 organ from around 1970. The characteristic sound is really the phaser... I think Alan Parsons may have been Solina Strings + phaser (maybe small stone phaser?)

[Kowabrass]

This piece is one of my favourites of the Schoof Quintet. When I heard this first on Vinyl in the early 80s it changed my whole perception and understanding of music. Manfred Schoof has been major influence for me to the present day. Thanks for uploading this and the other clips.

[orangefunk]

Great! I only heard this for the first time when it was broadcast on the BR alpha channel and seeded at dime. Then I got the LPs... but like you say... life changing... I have been playing since 1985 and when I heard this track I felt another door open.. thats what it seems to be all about.. opening doors.

[misschips]

EH, MOUSTACHE

[orangefunk]

yep classic moustache probably even retro in 1977 methinks... but great music eh?

[Jonne021]

Do you have the whole concert? Would be great to see the whole performance...now I gotta go hunt down the records, hehe..

[orangefunk]

yep.. check dimeadozen

[warrenandrea]

tried to get the concert from dimeadozen but it is full so i cant join any ideas where i can get to see yhe full concert i would like to burn one to dvd i have the three albums on japo if someone wants to swap the concert for some cdr,s

[Jonne021]

fantastic! some of the best stuff ive seen on youtube. never heard of the guy...thanks orangefunk!

[orangefunk]

no problem... check those other Schoof videos too.. he was a new one on me until relatively recently. No idea how I missed out on him as I have been into this kind of stuff now for almost 20 years!

[orangefunk]

also

The LPs Scales and Light Lines are great and totally in this style and share the same personnel. There is a later LP with Rainer Bruninghaus on piano instead of Jasper, called Horizons which has a brilliant track called "Old Ballad" which is anything but... goes into a flat out amazing modern jazz piano solo from Rainer Bruninghaus...

Check em out...

[27max]

Excellent, ottimo.

[wrjacobs]

This is from the album "Scales," which won the German jazz critics' prize in 1976 when it came out. It was released on JAPO, which was an imprint of ECM. One of these days, maybe ECM will reissue it. Thanks for posting!
