The Aachen Jazz Files (Compiled by Rainer Trüby & Miche) (LP Vinyl)
The Aachen Jazz Files celebrates the pioneering spirit of NABEL Records—one of Germany’s most underrated yet influential independent jazz labels. Founded in 1980, NABEL became a home for innovative musicians blending classic acoustic jazz with fusion, Brazilian rhythms, and avant-garde flourishes.
This compilation collects the label’s finest moments: soulful brilliance from Monika Linges Quartet, deep jazz-funk from Hipsters In The Zone, cosmic explorations from John Thomas & Lifeforce, and stunning vocals from Maria Joao Quintet. Curated by miche & Rainer Trüby and presented by PANORAMA Records, this LP offers essential listening for jazz aficionados and crate diggers alike.
