Schlippenbach Quartet

Cien Fuegos present a reissue of Schlippenbach Quartet's "Three Nails Left", a classic mid-1970s originally released on FMP in 1975 and showing Schlippenbach is in sublime form. It features a stellar line-up, with Evan Parker, Peter Kowald and Paul Lovens. Side A was recorded live at 3rd Jazz Festival Moers June 2nd, 1974 . Side B was recorded live at the Quartier Latin Berlin, February 2nd, 1975with the FMP Mobile Recording Unit. The group has a great sense of dynamics, and the set ebbs between some great textural passages, full on energy and trading staccato statements.
