About Me

Hermann Szobel

THIS IS A TRIBUTE/FAN PAGE! meant only to expose and shed light on this rare fusion masterpiece.

After Making This Album. The 18 Year Old Pianist Disappeared Without Trace Leaving The Listener With A Great Yearning For What Might Have Been.

The enigmatic Hermann Szobel's only album was made marginally less obscure when Mike Magnuson mentioned it in his 2002 autobiographical novel, -Lummox, as a precious treasure around which his beer-swilling, jazz-obsessed protagonists congregate.

VIDEOS

Tribute video for Hermann's track "szuite" is above, at just over 12 minutes, its one of his most interesting tracks and is all over the musical spectrum. so turn up your speakers and enjoy.

Video above for 'MR.SOFTEE' made by me over an evening with a six pack. Thus concludes, the only 'known' recorded work of this great artist.

UPDATE check out Bob Goldman's page for an unreleased Hermann cut!
