Swiss percussionist Peter Giger was a member of the German Krautrock group Dzyan and is known for his work with the percussion collective Family Of Percussion, which was formed after this release. This 1978 solo album was produced with such as extraordinary trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff, Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu, saxophonist Gerd Dudek. The improvisational space unfolds as they traverse boundaries, reaching mutual understanding through their interplay. Each piece draws you in, but fragrant improvisational exchange “To Marc Hellman”, African-sensibility high density ensemble “Trilokie” and heavenly sound “Gospel To Music” enveloping you in soft resonance, are particularly remarkable. The passionate essay on jazz printed on the back cover is also essential reading.

独クラウトロックグループDzyanのメンバーでもありこのリリース後に結成される打楽器集団Family Of Percussionの活動で知られるスイス人打楽器奏者Peter Giger。本作は異能トロンボーン奏者Albert Mangelsdorff、インド人打楽器奏者Trilok Gurtu、サックス奏者Gerd Dudekらと共に制作された78年のソロ名義作品。越境的に行き来しながら互いをわかり合うように繰り出される即興空間のあれやこれや。どれも聞き入ってしまいますが香り立つような即興の掛け合い”To Marc Hellman”、アフリカ感覚の高密度アンサンブル”Trilokie”、柔らかな響きに包まれるような天上音浴”Gospel To Music”は特に凄い。ジャズについて熱く書かれた裏面も必見。
