Bob Degen - 1944

Would have thought Pieronczyk is much older... When I was 16 or so in the 90s I bought one of his albums while on student exchange in Poland... Turns out he was himself only in his mid 20s then... Haven't played it in ages I must admit

Degen's Calig LP is also the only album to feature Manfred Eicher's bass playing... although perhaps the Marion Brown session he's on will see proper release someday (we can hope).

I have not heard this Trion LP but am interested to, because Thomas Cremer is a good drummer who I know from his work with A23H.
