SHOW BAND ~ DNO PRZESTRZENI GAD 072 (Barcode: 5901549197976) ~ POLAND ~ Jazz-Funk Fusion Recorded: 1975 Released: 2018 This is the second archival album with previously unreleased material by the Polish trio Show BandFind albums by this artist, led by bassist Anatol WojdynaFind albums by this artist, which also included keyboardist Maciej GluszkiewiczFind albums by this artist (ex-Klan) and drummer / violinist Jan MazurekFind albums by this artist (ex-BreakoutFind albums by this artist, QuorumFind albums by this artist). Percussionist Aleksander BemFind albums by this artist (ex-BemibekFind albums by this artist) appears as a guest musician. The album presents nine original compositions, all by Wojdyna. The music is a mixture of Jazz-Rock Fusion, Funk, Soul and Groove, all on the lighter side of the Jazz spectrum, but presenting solid compositions and excellent musical skills by the musicians. In retrospect the music sounds a bit dated due to the retro sound / ambience, but followers of Polish Funk should be delighted by this material, exactly in the same manner as with the previously released album by this trio. After recording this material, which was originally recorded as library music for the Polish Film Chronicle, the trio fell apart and the musicians followed separate paths. In retrospect this album is a nice collection of Polish Funk, which over four decades later still finds new followers all over the world, in spite of the fact that it is almost completely unknown. Another great find by GADFind albums on this label Records, which keeps great music safe from oblivion.
