Many collectors think of this German band as a short-lived project by Kraut-Jazz veterans, but the truth is Gebärväterli had a quite long career, starting in 1973 in Nuernberg with an original line-up of Friedel Pohrer on bass, Norbert ''Slog'' Kirchner on guitar, Yogo Pausch on drums, brothers Reinhold und Dieter Weberpals (keyboards and flute respectively) and Gerd Ackermann on wind instruments. Gebärväterli's sole work has this charming Kraut/Fusion style, led by interesting interplays and plenty of abstract solos, which somehow end up to be not only listenable, but also even more rewarding than the structured themes at moments. The dense line-up resulted to a very rich sound with technical drumming, smooth instrumental interactions and loose executions on flute, guitars and organ, not to mention the scratching sax soliing of Mandi Riedelbauch. Moreover there are slight psychedelic underlines over an overall rather jazzy attitude, typical of the Krautrock stylings, featuring steady but frenetic rhythmic parts over extended instrumental solos. The Germans had however a good sense of melody to support their jazzy style with melodic trombones and some delicate flute lines in the more mellow segments. Every track in here seems to have its own hero, no matter if this the keyboardist, the flutist or the sax player.
