Head-and-shoulders photograph of the German jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader signed in blue marker

Published in Frankfurt am Main by Mood Records with contact information of Dauner's Stuttgart agent, Hans W. Schneider, to lower margin. Ca. 173 x 122 mm.

Slightly worn at lower edge; occasional light soiling and remnants of adhesive; minor annotation in blue ink to upper edge of verso; signature faded and partially obscured by photograph.

"In his early work Dauner’s piano playing showed traces of Bill Evans and Paul Bley, but he soon developed an individual virtuoso style combining intense free improvisation with lyrical and meditative passages. His compositions in the mid- to late 1960s made use of jazz and contemporary art music, and often incorporated elements of theatre, opera, and dance... These and many of his other works involve synthesizers, computers, pre-set material, and musique concrète... He was a founder of the musicians’-owned record label Mood." Joachim E. Berendt and Wolfram Knauer in Grove Music Online.
