UNDERKARL - MARATON


  • Underkarl: Maraton
        (2001, cd, Germany, private release)
Sebastian Gramss’ Underkarl project released its first album in 1996.
In 2001, they released “Maraton’, a limited private release that had been recorded for NPS radio at the Jazzmarathon in Groningen, NL, in 2000, in collaboration with Co de Kloet.

I received a copy from a friend a number of years ago. A copy that he had bought during an Underkarl concert. The album had seen better times. The CD played fine, but the cover looked like it had been fighting with a cup of coffee. And lost.

Anyway, several copies of this fine album recently turned up, so I was happy to buy an upgrade !!

"Maraton" presented different medleys.
One of these included FZ’s ‘Eat That Question’.

The band featured Sebastian Gramss (double bass), Dirk-Peter Kölsch (drums), Frank Wingold (guitar), Lömsch Lehmann (reeds) and Nils Wogram (trombone).

The medley : 'Dancing Queen / Caravan / Eat That Question'

Here's a taste of Underkarl :
