Various, Rainer Trüby & Miche

The Aachen Jazz Files is a secret map to a lost corner of jazz history — smoky clubs, vinyl-crackling rooms, and the restless energy of early ’80s experimentation. Curated by Rainer Trüby & Miche, this collection unearths the hidden gems of the Nabel label, where improvisation collides with European cool, funk, and cinematic moods.

Each track feels like a small revelation: fractured rhythms, daring horn lines, and grooves that teeter between elegance and edge. It’s a record of restless curiosity — musicians stretching, colliding, and whispering truths through brass, keys, and strings.

Edgy yet soulful, obscure yet essential, The Aachen Jazz Files is a journey for the ears that crave nuance, texture, and the quiet thrill of discovering something truly rare. A collection that doesn’t just play — it inhabits you.
