Sincerely P.T.

Band, *1936
Jazz

A supersession jazz-fusion big band, fronted by pioneering jazz bassist Peter Trunk (born in Frankfurt-am-Main, 17/5/1936), a veteran of the Frankfurt jazz scene. According to the LP's cover notes Peter Trunk's aim was to twist the rock format into something different by using jazz instruments and jazz improvisation. This album is what persuaded Curt Cress to move from rock to jazz, in that he saw jazz-fusion as opening many new possibilities. As with other Conny Plank Aamok productions it's a highly original music full creativity, notable for talents like Jasper van't Hof and Sigi Schwab. Peter Trunk died shortly after the LP was released, in a traffic accident, in New York, USA (31/12/1973).
