Album Notes & Community Reviews

Leading his ensemble Extra Ball, the Polish jazz guitarist delivers a smooth, highly melodic collection of fusion instrumentals. 'Talking Guitar' softens the edges of complex jazz-rock with lush, ethereal production and accessible, romantic phrasing. It stands as a prime example of the polished, commercial jazz sounds emerging from Eastern Europe during the decade.
