Cry Freedom ~ Germany


Volcano (1976)

Cry Freedom's debut is one of the earlier entries within Germany's huge fascination of everything jazz fusion. By the 1980s it seems there were hundreds of such releases. Primarily instrumental sax / guitar / organ / synthesizer driven numbers, with a stronger than usual emphasis on melody. Not quite at the level of a Embryo or Missus Beastly, but more thought out than most fusion groups of the era.

Ownership: 1976 private (LP)

No reissues exist for all three of their albums as of 3/24/25.

4/28/10 (review); 1/11/20 (update / new entry)
