Folly Seeing All This is an album by Austrian jazz trumpeter Michael Mantler recorded in June 1992 and released on ECM the following year. The ensemble features guitarist Rick Fenn, flautist Wolfgang Puschnig, pianist Karen Mantler, percussionist Dave Adams and the Balanescu Quartet, with a guest appearance from vocalist Jack Bruce singing Samuel Beckett's final poem, "What Is the Word".
The AllMusic review by Peter Nappi stated: "At once melodic and challenging, Folly Seeing All This is experimental chamber jazz at its most enjoyable."[1]
