Long hidden from the world, the extraordinary sound of Baobab finally emerges. Recordings made in the late 1970s by the Stuttgart-based group—once described as "one of the most interesting rock-jazz groups on the Stuttgart scene"—are being unveiled to listeners for the very first time after more than 45 years in the vaults.

The album, simply titled Baobab, showcases the fearless creativity and genre-blurring spirit of a band who were decades ahead of their time. Fusing the improvisational energy of jazz with the raw power of rock, Baobab captured the restless artistic energy that defined an era, yet sounded like no other. From spiraling guitar lines and hypnotic rhythms to intricate brass arrangements and soulful grooves, Baobab is a rediscovered journey through sound—at once vintage and wildly contemporary. Their music pulses with vibrant textures and a sense of adventure, transporting the listener straight to the heart of Stuttgart’s underground music scene in the late ‘70s.

After remaining unheard for over four decades, these restored recordings now offer new listeners and longtime collectors alike a rare glimpse into a lost chapter of European fusion music. With Baobab, the group finally claims its rightful place in the canon of jazz-rock innovators.
