Kraan

Kraan is a pioneering German rock band that blends a unique mix of progressive rock, jazz, and funk to create a sound that has captivated audiences since their formation in the early 1970s. The core members of Kraan - Hellmut Hattler on bass, Peter Wolbrandt on guitar and vocals, Jan Fride on drums, and in earlier times, Johannes Pappert on alto saxophone - established a chemistry that churned out innovative music typified by complex rhythms and improvisational flair.

Their creativity is evident in their extensive discography, with releases that have continued to push the boundaries of their genre. Albums like "Andy Nogger" showcase the band's playful spirit and technical prowess, while live recordings such as "Porta Westfalica 1975" and "Live at Finkenbach Festival 2005" capture the electrifying spontaneity of their performances. Recent offerings, such as "The Trio Years - Zugabe!" and "The Trio Years (Live)," reinforce Kraan's enduring appeal and commitment to their craft. Perennially popular among fans of the genre, Kraan maintains a legacy as one of the most innovative and enduring bands in the German rock scene.
