VOLKER KRIEGEL

German jazz and fusion guitar player Volker Kriegel was part of the Dave Pike Set and even recorded FZ's 'Mother People' with this quartet. It can be found on Dave Pike's 'Noisy Silence - Gently Noise".

Another version got recorded during a 1971 (!!) session for German radio.
The recording can be found on a recent album, "At Studio 2" from 2016.

A recent Facebook post made me check out some more stuff from Volker Kriegel...
