It is the players searching, moving through many musical plateaus - from jazz through classical, from intellectualism to trans. This is the idea of open playing, full of expression and positive energy.

Jarek Smietana Talking Guitar All the notes fall naturally into place. Never garrulous or merely exhibitionistic, it is a jazz concert of the highest calibre. Each phrase is swinging and is full of drive and feeling. In brief, that is how you can describe the music of Jarek Smietana, one of the most outstanding Polish jazz musicians. He has created his own music style and individual sound, always personal yet constantly communicative. His first priority is the highest possible artistic level.

Jerzy Milian Orkiestra Rozrywkowa PR i TV w Katowicach One of the most seek after albums by Milian, first time on CD. A quintessential example of Polish pop music grooves, mixed with Jazz-Pops touches, enhanced by its trademarked "Silesian Sound" - an unique big band flavor achieved by relatively small brass section. Brazilian-like vocals, tight arrangements, distinct dynamics and still - after 30+years - very modern articulation. Our strongest recommendation. Audio Clip: Wsrod Pampasow

Polish Funk 3 - the unique selection of rare grooves from Poland of the 70's (CD) As with previous volumes, this one's put together by the Soul Service DJ Team -- and this time around, they seem to really be opening up their bag -- increasing the styles of music offered through an exploration of fusion, vocal jazz, big band, and soul -- all with a deep undercurrent of the funk promised in the title! There's some really wicked tunes with Polish lyrics -- words you probably can't understand, but which are sung with a nicely harsh edge that almost make the tunes feel like Finders Keepers-styled funk.

Polish Funk the unique selection of rare grooves from Poland of the 70's A wonderful introduction to the kinds of grooves we've been digging from Poland for years -- that mad mix of jazz, funk, fusion, electric, and vocal elements that somehow managed to flourish wonderfully during the 70s years of Soviet control -- a real musical marvel, considering the setting -- and because of tight border control, very few of these tunes ever made it out to the west! (Dusty Groove)
