Album Notes & Community Reviews
A dazzling, highly technical debut from the Polish jazz-fusion outfit led by guitarist Jarek 艢mietana. Emerging from the vibrant Krakow jazz scene, the ensemble navigated incredibly complex, breakneck compositions that blurred the lines between sophisticated post-bop and electric progressive rock. It is considered a crucial, virtuosic milestone in the history of Eastern European fusion.
