Released in 1981, the debut of the legendary keyboardist from Eberhard Weber’s Colours band and later the Jan Garbarek Group, Freigeweht presented Rainer Bruninghaus as a highly original and idiosyncratic sound sculptor in his own right, accompanied by ECM stalwarts Kenny Wheeler on flugelhorn and drummer Jon Christensen as well as oboist Brynjar Hoff. In a review of the album from the year of its release the German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung traced Rainer’s influences and minimalist designs back to Steve Reich, calling Bruninghaus “the most imaginative musician to employ minimal art in the realm of jazz. (…) Though he neither uses minimal art as ideology nor as replacement for a rhythm section, but in a more playfully constructive way, as an element that can undergo change.” Jon Christensen adds uncompromising propulsion to Bruninghaus’s lyrical themes, which are evocatively fleshed out by Wheeler and Hoff’s contemplative tones. (The Luminessence edition of Freigeweht arrives in a tip-on gatefold accompanied by new liner notes). “I’ll often work on a sound for hours until I am convinced that all irritating elements have been expelled from it and that it really gels with the underlying musical idea I have in mind. I don’t enjoy one-dimensional sounds — they have to be composite, complex sounds that add up to a harmonious whole. The more complex the technical means available became, the more interesting electronics became for me.” - Rainer Bruninghaus (from the liner notes of the Luminessence edition)
