Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Elegie' represents a peak era for the acclaimed Czechoslovakian ensemble Jazz Q, under the direction of visionary keyboardist Martin Kratochvíl. The musicianship balances rigorous jazz-rock complexity with emotive, blues-inflected guitar solos and expansive synthesizer work. It serves as a prime example of the high-caliber progressive fusion emerging from behind the Iron Curtain during the 1970s.
