Manfred Schoof Quintet – Light Lines (JAPO, 1978)

Manfred Schoof (tr, flgn); Jasper van 't Hof (p, el p, org); Michel Pilz (b cl); Günter Lenz (b); Ralf Hübner (d)

Recorded in December 1977

Reissued as part of Schoof's two-disc set Resonance (ECM, 2009)

Schoof's quintet was a fabulous band, and it's a shame that more people aren't familiar with it.  Anyone who hasn't heard this European group should investigate, pronto!

Scales (JAPO, 1976) was the first LP from Schoof's quintet.  If features the same line-up as heard on Light Lines, and it's also excellent.  It's included in the Resonance set too.
