  • Bio

    Prof. Wolfff.. lived a short and intensive life in the early 70s, as a part of the krautrock adventure - with gigs all over germany and a TV performance at the 'Talentschuppen' (ARD - first German channel). The band unexpectedly split in march 1972, shortly after producing their first album 'Prof. Wolfff', which was released in 1972 by Metronome. Along with ..Ihre Kinder.. and ..Ton, Steine, Scherben.., an important political rockband from Berlin, ..Prof. Wolfff.. was one of the first progressive rock bands in Germany exclusively singing German rock songs, even before ..Udo Lindenberg.. released his first 'German' album. As a result, other musicians were inspired to compose rock songs using German language... <br> "Mixing pop, blues, jazz and classical with German political lyrics (krautrock style), Prof. Wolfff's self-titled album was produced by ..Ihre Kinder.. manager ..Jonas Porst... At times Prof. Wolfff sound like a strong blues rock act mixed with a bit of classical and psychedelia while at other times they come off as a mixture of pop and barbershop. Prof. Wolfff's album contains five tracks, the three best of which are extended. Led by a great raw guitar sound and classical-styled hammond organ, 'Hetzjagd', the albums jewel, showcases the bands ability to piece together various elements into an accessible track. 'Hans Im Gluck' contains more prominent hammond organ. The two shorter tracks 'Missverstandnis' and 'Das Zimmer' are lighter fare and contain poppy chorus vocals. Finally, the album closes with 'Weh Uns', a heavier track containing a hard progressive sound highlighted by guitar solos and classical motifs. As a bonus, the Second Battle CD reissue from 1998 contains the shortened radio mix of 'Hetzjagd'. Likely to be a hit or miss album for many, ..Prof. Wolfff.. is definetly worthy of a spin due to the three extended tracks, but it might take a while to sink in for most listeners." [Doug Brotherton].. <br> ...but wait, there's more..... <br> <strong>Prof. Wolfff Ensemble</strong>....a follow up version with Romi Schickle (the original organ player), Peter Bochtler (a gifted young drummer), Friedrich Herrmann (switched to bass), and with various other musicians (Joe Rodius/git, Helmut Binzer/git, Roland Mayer/violin), Prof. Wolfff Ensemble extensively toured German clubs and did festival gigs, mainly performing instrumental music, influenced by jazz and fusion of the early 70s. No more German lyrics... <br> <strong>Prof. Wolfff III</strong> Prof. Wolfff Ensemble split in 1974 and Prof. Wolfff (III) was reactivated in Munich/Germany during the late 70s. Prof. Wolfff performed with musicians from the Munich scene and with a set of very talented guys from the.. Embryo.. and ..Schneeball Records.. pool of musicians. Their music changed again, towards rock/fusion/jazz. This time with the focus on much more improvisation and interactive stuff at festivals, integrating the audience.
