Katamaran - Café Florian - 1978 - pläne
Katamaran was a lively fusion combo from Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, and often compared to the jazzy progressive rock band of the late-70's, Guru Guru. Percussionist, Waldemar Karpenkiel's brother Jogi was in Guru Guru in 1976/77 (both being from Kollektiv) and naturally influences rub off. Katamaran were unique in many ways, not least so for a heavy reliance on percussion and two wind players, and were comparable in feel to many East Euro fusion bands of the era. "Café Florian" is a good jazz rock/fusion album in the style of artists like Chick Corea, or Weather Report . Try and listen to Katamaran's 1977 s/t album. For music in the same genre, listen to Kollektiv's "SWF-Sessions Volume 5", and Guru Guru's "Don't Call Us, We Call You" albums
