Sincerely P.T. 1973 Spiegelei
Sincerely P.T. is quite an interesting album. It starts out in typical Euro jazz territory, with some soft Rhodes piano and horns. But... as the best albums always do... the album gets freakier and freakier as it goes. There's plenty of wiggy fuzzed out keyboards and exotic stringed instruments to digest here. The P.T. stands for Peter Trunk (who plays bass) and he surrounds himself with an all-star cast of underground Kraut jazzers including Sigi Schwab on guitar (Vampyros Lesbos, Embryo), Jasper Van't Hof (Pork Pie) on keys, and Curt Cress on drums among many others. I'd say Schwab has the most influence here musically speaking (especially considering the various stringed instruments referred to above). Overall Sincerely P.T. finds the middle ground between horn rock, Krautrock, and European fusion. An excellent find, the type of album that one would normally hear on MPS for example.
Priority: 2
