an internatiional project based in Germant (i think)
The German jazz and fusion scene often seems unfairly eclipsed by its concurrent krautrock and psychedelic scene. Association Earwax, who became Association P.C. on the band's final three albums, were a fine outfit and the original home of guitarist Toto Blanke, creating a fusion similar to several jazz threads - the early CGI albums of George Benson, the heavy fuzz organ-led jazz rock of Soft Machine, and the crazed, on-the-edge-of-free-jazz experiments of ECM artists like Wolfgang Dauner. While this six-track debut doesn't have quite the impressive moments albums like Erna Morena do, it still has plenty of fine material, ranging from mellow Benson-like guitar and rhodes jazz pieces to full throttle noisefests. A good one for sure, the entire Association P.C. (the P.C. standing for drummer Pierre Courbois) catalog needs reissues.
Association was first started as Association Earwax, before changing its name to Association PC (for P Courbois), and jeremy steig played on the Mama Kuku album
Here's the line up of the Erna Morena album (1972): Pierre COURBOIS Drums, Jasper VAN'T HOF Piano électrique, Orgue, Toto BLANKE Guitare, Siggi BUSCH Contrebasse, Guitare basse, Karl H. WIBERNY Saxophone alto, Saxophone ténor, Clarinette alto.
