Wolfgang Schlüter, a jazz fusion vibes player, in the vein of Dave Pike. His Wolfgang Schlüter Combo album HANGOVER is notable for the Brave New World, connections of Lucas Lindholm and John O'Brien-Docker (as producer), I mean their collaboration on the 1972 album - Impressions On Reading Aldous Huxley (Vertigo ‎– 6360 606). Here really goes well with rather easy listening moody jazz-fusion with Leszek Zadlo's saxes as the main solo instruments and Schlüter's cool vibes a close second.
