A 1982 album led by German pianist Götz Tangerding, who also worked under the name Bakti Jazz, with bassist Christian Stock and drummer Rudi Roth. Released on the private label Bhakti-Records. Tangerding and Roth later recorded a duo album for the same label in 1985, but this appears to be their only release in a trio format. Centered around Tangerding’s bright, lucid acoustic piano, the album presents beautifully elegant jazz throughout. A3 is especially impressive, with flowing bass lines weaving through delicate yet swinging drums while the warm, lustrous tones of Fender Rhodes float above the rhythm section. B1 is another highlight, unfolding with beautifully controlled dynamics that evoke a vivid musical landscape. A superb example of essential spiritual contemporary jazz.
