Produced in 1972 during the "Jazz at the Golden Girl Club"-Sessions in Augsburg, Germany. The only ever published single from Ken Rhodes and the very first publishing of a recording, long before the album "Profile" was published.
The bassist then was Peter Coulson. Rocky Knauer, the bassist on "Profile" came much later.
Coverphoto: Reinhold Schinol
The cover of this single has a back just like on an album.
An extremly rare Single.
Little note on the side: There is a hole in the right sock of
Ken Rhodes. Well, musicians.
Ken Rhodes died in August 2016. Pressreport in:

Profile' is the first and only Ken Rhodes LP as a leader. This intimate and rare recording captures an explosive concoction between blues, jazz and a touch of funky swing. Though an acoustic performance, this LP offers overwhelming grooves, breaks as well as introspective moments. The upbeat and funky title track 'The Profile' forshadows the raw grooves of the session. The composition is driven by Rhodes' very soulful and bluesy improvasitions in a colorful dialogue
with Joachim Knauer's percussive and obsessive bassline which
embraces the funky rhymthms of George Greene. However, this
raw "in-your-face" formula is beautifully constrated in
'Nothing New' and the piano solo 'Robyn's Lullaby' where the trio
slows down to play deep, dreamy and hazy tunes.

| Founded in 1960, the Revival Jazzband Prague won the Prague Pop & Jazzfestival in 1964
and played on festivals in Vienna, Berlin, Dusseldorf and Zurich. In 1968 the band went professional and since 1972 resides in
Switzerland. Zdenek Kucera about his band: "Our formation differs in essential points from other bands. We try to avoid the usual
cliches and not merely copy the solos of established musicians. We prefer to play our own solos, and vocals take an important
place in our repertoire."

A fine German fusion band from the late 1970s playing a typical Eurofusion
with melodic wind lines (generally supplied by sax with some flute), some good deep grooves and acidy guitar solos.
The group strives for its own specific musical expression. Rock, Swing and the incorporation of Latin-American
rhythms gives the group its special "feeling". The vitality of its improvisations aims at the detection and conveyance of the utmost
personal emotions. The improvisation is carried out in a modal way by sequences of harmonies or in free, spontanuous cooperation.
The original pressing was very sucessful and is sold out. Hence, in 2022 a new limited pressing will be available. It is recommended to pre-order this pressing as we are expecting fast selling.
