Never Let It End

Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Jazz enthusiasts rejoice: the legendary Never Let It End by Albert Mangelsdorff Quartet, a seminal 1970 album hailed as one of the most important in the European jazz canon, receives a fresh vinyl pressing from MPS Records. Originally recorded on March 23, 1970, at Walldorf Studio in Frankfurt under producer Joachim Ernst Berendt, this free jazz masterpiece captures Mangelsdorff's innovative trombone mastery alongside Heinz Sauer on saxophones, Günter Lenz on bass, and Ralf Hübner on drums. The album unfolds across dynamic tracks like the opener "Wide Open" (3:45), the epic title cut "Never Let It End" (9:48) - a Spanish waltz infused with improvisational fire - "Certain Beauty" (9:14), "13th Color" (6:54), "Open Mind" (4:17), "Roitz And Spring" (7:14), and the poignant closer "Nachwort" (1:50). Mangelsdorff's quartet delivers pared-down power, blending avant-garde exploration with emotional depth, as featured in the expansive Originals retrospective.
