The 5th piano LP in series of "Polish Jazz" is merely indicating the domination of the piano by subtle exposure of the piano solo or by correlating the instrumental arrangement with the piano texture - and not other way around.

Review:
A beautifully understated session from Polish pianist Wojciech Kaminski -- one that's certainly focused strongly on his work on the keys, but which also features key contributions from other players as well! The style here is a mix of modes from various jazz generations -- sometimes the gentle modernism of John Lewis, sometimes a trad jazz approach to the piano -- couched in a group that features tenor, trumpet, alto, clarinet, and some especially nice guitar.
