Happy 70th Birthday, Hellmut! Kraan in the 70ies


Kraan is a German band based in Ulm and formed in 1970. It had several minor hits through the 1970s and 1980s. After a break of ten years, the group reunited in 2000. Their early style can be described as Krautrock that turned later to fusion, combining elements of both rock and jazz.

Hellmut Hattler (born 12 April 1952 in Ulm, West Germany) is a German jazz and rock bassist and composer. Hattler took much of his early influences from Jimi Hendrix. As a child, he received violin lessons, and in the 1960s, he played guitar. Joining Peter Wolbrandt's band marked the debut of his changeover to the bass. In May 1971, he founded the pop group Kraan with the Wolbrandt brothers Peter and Jan and Johannes Pappert. Kraan's early Krautrock style later developed towards fusion, combining rock, jazz and ethnic elements.[1] Apart from his own projects, Hattler has toured and recorded with many international musicians of various genres including Tina TurnerBilly CobhamJoachim KühnTorsten de WinkelAlphonse Mouzon, and Nippy Noya.

  1. Was für ein wunderbarer Blog. Leider sind die Kraan links tot. Gibt es Hoffnung, daß sie nochmal eingestellt werden? Beste Grüße Krit
