Biography

Kraan is a jazz group, formed in 1967 in Ulm. Members include Peter Wolbrandt and Hellmut Hattler. Record labels: EMI and Intercord. The discography here lists 26 albums, from “Kraan” (1972) to “All In” (2026).

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. The band was named Kraan, after considering the name Jack Steam. The name means faucet in Dutch, a fact they were apparently unaware of at the time; it has no meaning in German, but they liked it because it was easy to remember.
