Rainer Brüninghaus was educated in classical piano, playing from the age of 9, and founded his first jazz trio when he was 16. From 1968 to 1972 he studied sociology at the University of Cologne and music from 1971 to 1975. In 1970 he founded the experimental jazz rock group Eiliff, which recorded two albums and one single. In 1981 he founded his own trio in which Markus Stockhausen and Fredy Studer played until the end of 1984. This group toured worldwide, often for the Goethe Institute. John Abercrombie and Trilok Gurtu joined the band in 1985, and for some of the performances, Charlie Mariano, Hugo Read, and Jo Thönes played in the band. In 1984 he won the Award of German Record Critics for his ECM album ‘Continuum’.

Together they create a mosaic of timbres for Stockhausen to sail above and through. Continuum is a pleasant record, in places even beautiful. Yet, one has to wonder if there wasn't a period in this label's history where otherwise creative musicians weren't taking it a little too easy with their ideas, thinking that ECM's stellar reputation and lineage might carry them through ideatic droughts.

They included Oregon, John Abercrombie, and Marc Johnson.

The first track on Continuum, entitled "Strahlenspur," sounds like an outtake from the Pat Metheny group record, and this band doesn't even have a guitar player! OK, back to the task at hand. This trio made a few records together from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s. One of the other - non-dubious - standouts is "Stille," with its loping piano lines and Stockhausen's muted trumpet. Innerfern" is also gorgeous for the way Brüninghaus layers his arpeggios to coincide with Studer's subtle brushwork on the cymbals.
