Experimental jazz recording by Joachim Kühn produced by his brother Rolf Kühn. Not a free jazz record directly but still some seriously avantgarde elements. Stand out cut is Heavy Birthday but take a listen to the abstract Castle Bredeneek.

This album - released on CMP Records - bring together such disparate influences as free jazz, rock, modal jazz, sound experiments and chamber music. 'I'm Not Dreaming' from 1983 features trombonist George Lewis, cellist Ottomar Borwitzky (who adds a distinctly different sound) and percussionist Mark Nauseef. Enjoy!
