The leader composed and arranged all the music, except one piece, which is an arrangement of "Malaguena" by the Spanish composer Isaac AlbenizFind albums by this artist. The ensemble´s instrumentation hints as to its originality, especially for the period when this album was recorded, and the resulting music is Chamber Jazz, which mixes elements of World Music, Contemporary Classical and Jazz. In retrospect this is one of the most interesting releases in the Polish Jazz series and deserves special attention. Ages ahead of its time, this music sounds as fresh today as it was at the time of its recording and should interest every serious Jazz connoisseur. Highly recommended!
