Great shot @GraemeE
La Düsseldorf - Viva 1978.
Schimmel piano is round about from the same year.
And yes, it is no coincidence that this cover looks a bit like Neu!.

First impression… this will cost me a lot of beautiful time.
Eels - Extreme Witchcraft on Spoti
The LP jacket blurb reads:
“John Parish is one of the most even-tempered, polite people I’ve ever met. A true gentleman. Actually he’s probably THE most polite person I’ve ever met. But when he gets into the studio he becomes a mad scientist. If you make music with John Parish, you get stuff no one else does. He has a really unique toolbox and musical outlook. Perhaps his politeness is a coping mechanism to keep Mr. Hyde under control when he’s out of his laboratory.” - Mark »E« Oliver Everett -
This one came pretty soon after Bill Evans’ return to music after the death of Scott LaFaro, his incredibly melodic and inventive bassist in his trio known for the legendary Village Vanguard sessions. He was wrecked by this sudden, tragic death. LaFaro was so unique and I think he had more to say and could have been a bigger influence (Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead recalls him for me with his melodicism and ceaseless forays into the upper registers of the instrument). I’m not sure Evans ever got over LaFaro’s death and those demons probably figured into his struggles with addiction. So Bill was incredibly emotionally vulnerable at this time.
