Sidesteps - Sidesteps (1979) Hi-Res

The album is a striking example of the West German jazz-rock scene of the late 1970s. The music is instrumental, dynamic, and built on the interplay of electric violin and guitar.
Hartmut Köhler's violin and Hugo Vogel's guitar provide the main melodic structure, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of European progressive fusion (in the vein of the Mahavishnu Orchestra or Jean-Luc Ponty).
Deep, pulsating bass and textured drums provide a solid foundation for improvisation.
Guest musician Rudolf Schmücker adds atmospheric flourishes with piano and synthesizers.
