German underground jazz fusion super trio of sorts with their roots in Stuttgart. Keyboard player Thomas Balluff had started with the "soul" band Muli & The Misfits in the 1960's, whereas the guitar/bassist Andy Göldner came from Five Fold Shade (a local rhythm n' blues combo). Drummer Fred Braceful was the odd one out, an American jazzer who moved base to Germany in the late-1950's, and had worked extensively with Wolfgang Dauner and Et Cetera.
