Cien Fuegos presents a reissue of Pakistani Pomade by the Schlippenbach Trio, originally released on FMP in 1972. Evan Parker: soprano and tenor saxophone; Alexander von Schlippenbach: piano; Paul Lovens: drums. Recorded by Dietram Köster in November 1972, Bremen. Artwork by Benjamin von Schlippenbach; layout by Peter Brötzmann. Review: Excellent service. - Item as described, quick shipment. Review: Free improv from the days when anything seemed possible - Thanks to John Corbett and the Unheard Music series on the Atavistic label, the first recording of the Schlippenbach Trio is finally released on CD. PAKISTANI POMADE is an FMP Archive Edition -- the original 1973 LP was on the German FMP label, one of its first few releases. The cover drawing of "The Filthy Trio" is by Alex Schlippenbach's then very young son. This is dynamic and beautiful music, definitely flowing from the energy music of the late Coltrane and Cecil Taylor -- imagine a trio of Coltrane, Taylor and Rashied Ali and you'll be in the right ballpark, despite the fact that both the English and German free improv schools had been developing for several years by 1972 when this recording was made. Evan Parker mainly plays tenor, and his unique voice on the soprano sax was still several years away. It's not just high-volume, high-intensity blowing, though, there are loads of creative twists, including Parker vocalizing through his mouthpiece and what sounds like Schlippenbach playing the inside of his piano. The CD reissue includes four alternative takes of the title track, in addition to the 8 original pieces. The original LP jacket is reproduced, which includes an array of 12 photos, and several more larger photos are included as well, retrieved from the archives. Given the negligible distribution that FMP must have had in the U.S. in 1973, I doubt more than a tiny handful of U.S. listeners would be replacing their vinyl with this disc. For virtually all of us it is our first chance to hear this incredible music! For me, this music carries the spirit of those days when anything seemed possible. In the context of the Vietnam War, the nuclear superpower face-off, and a divided Germany, the uprisings of 1968 continued in the form of powerful, diverse movements of the Left, a planetary youth movement. This free music was part of that larger Movement for freedom, and it is energizing to hear it 30 years later.

This is what music is supposed to sound like. This is how music should make one feel. I've heard lots of avant-garde / free jazz stuff before. Yet something about this album - perhaps just my state of mind at the time of listening aided these thoughts - changed the way I think of music. I'm not saying free jazz is the paramount of all music. But, I think music, in general, should be this DARING and RADICAL, yet COHESIVE and BEAUTIFUL. This music makes me feel like I'm watching a riot or something - anything could happen, and I'm just standing on my balcony, overlooking the street, waiting for the next group of protesters to throw rocks at the police, or for the cops to throw the next tear gas grenade into the crowd, igniting their disenchantment into total pandamonium. It's not that _Pakistani Pomade_ is the greatest album I've heard (probably close, though) - it's that everything about this album and the music contained within should be present in ALL music. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/40540046-pakistani-pomade](https://www.desertcart.in/products/40540046-pakistani-pomade) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
