Niagara, Germany ***REISSUED***


***Reissued by Made in Germany Music Jun 2010 (all three albums)

S.U.B. 1972 United Artists

Founded by drummer and percussionist Klaus Weiss (see also Sunbirds), Niagara released three albums, two of which are entirely percussive, and thus out of the scope of this list. The exception is the middle album S.U.B., a jamming rock fusion session with an all star cast including Daniel Fichelscher (Popol Vuh), Kristian Schultze (Passport, and leader of the Recreation album), and Udo Lindenberg among a handful of others. The presence of trumpet and the bass heavy percussive driven sound reminds me of early 70's Miles Davis. 

Priority: 3

4/8/10 (new entry); 6/12/10 (complete)
