Profile' is the first and only Ken Rhodes LP as a leader. This intimate and rare recording captures an explosive concoction between blues, jazz and a touch of funky swing. Though an acoustic performance, this LP offers overwhelming grooves, breaks as well as introspective moments. The upbeat and funky title track 'The Profile' forshadows the raw grooves of the session. The composition is driven by Rhodes' very soulful and bluesy improvasitions in a colorful dialogue with Joachim Knauer's percussive and obsessive bassline which embraces the funky rhymthms of George Greene. However, this raw "in-your-face" formula is beautifully constrated in 'Nothing New' and the piano solo 'Robyn's Lullaby' where the trio slows down to play deep, dreamy and hazy tunes.

This album was licensed to Thomas Gauffroy Naudin for his Sconsolato Label
and was pressed from the Original Mastertape in 2021 with limited edition.
The differences between both albums:
The Original was manufactured by Teldec, Telefunken-Decca, Hamburg
and has their "TST"-production number '66.21109' etched on both sides of the album's Runout.
The producer's distribution address 'Althegnenberg' is old and not valid anymore.
The Sconsolato version is sealed.
The Cover and inside-label has "Sconsolato" on it; and the back of the
cover has my recent address in "Thierhaupten" on it.
Ken Rhodes died in August 2016.

| Founded in 1960, the Revival Jazzband Prague won the Prague Pop & Jazzfestival in 1964
and played on festivals in Vienna, Berlin, Dusseldorf and Zurich. In 1968 the band went professional and since 1972 resides in
Switzerland. Zdenek Kucera about his band: "Our formation differs in essential points from other bands. We try to avoid the usual
cliches and not merely copy the solos of established musicians. We prefer to play our own solos, and vocals take an important
place in our repertoire."

A fine German fusion band from the late 1970s playing a typical Eurofusion
with melodic wind lines (generally supplied by sax with some flute), some good deep grooves and acidy guitar solos.
The group strives for its own specific musical expression. Rock, Swing and the incorporation of Latin-American
rhythms gives the group its special "feeling". The vitality of its improvisations aims at the detection and conveyance of the utmost
personal emotions. The improvisation is carried out in a modal way by sequences of harmonies or in free, spontanuous cooperation.
The original pressing was very sucessful and is sold out. Hence a new limited pressing is available now.
