After the excellent New Jazz Ramwong (TB 6171LP, 2024), Tiger Bay is back with another and almost overlooked gem from the German jazz scene of the '60s by one of its most dazzling figures, the composer and multi-instrumentalist Joki Freund. Yogi Jazz is without doubts his masterpiece, for which he gathered a group of young European musicians who later would achieve great notoriety. Although the influence of Coltrane is clear throughout the album, the sextet reaches here an outstanding "cool" and original quality of rare beauty.
