An album released in 1984 by the Dutch pianist Leo Cuypers, who also participated as a member of The Baden-Baden Free Jazz Orchestra on the masterpiece live album "Gittin' To Know Y'All," released by MPS in 1970. This album features live recordings from a concert held in 1984 in Nijmegen, a town near Amsterdam. With a lineup comprising piano, trombone, reeds, guitar, bass, and drums, the album showcases a variety of street performance-like avant-garde jazz pieces, including tracks reminiscent of the colorful Cape Jazz from South Africa, such as A1/B1, featuring Dollar Brand and Dudu Pukwana, as well as B2, which exhibits a European contemporary atmosphere with abstract tendencies. It's a remarkable and lesser-known gem, highly recommended.
A1: Bouncing with Babe
