You may not be able to spell or pronounce this guy's name, but don't let that trouble you -- because the album's a stunner with qualities that go way beyond language! Kurylewicz plays trombone and piano on the record -- and is leading a group here with qualities that echo strongly with the "new thing" era of jazz in the US -- styles that are sometimes skittishly rhythmic, as in the work of Archie Shepp -- or sparely sound textural, as on Tony Williams' beautiful albums for Blue Note. And like the best new thing work of the 60s, the tracks are freely creative, yet never too out -- and nicely remember to swing when the spirit moves them! Highlights include the beautiful "Rondo", which features a bit of vocals by singer Wanda Warska, and the tightly snapping "Juz Ja Z Toba Nie Zostane (aka I Won't Stay With You)". Other tracks include "Requiem For ZC", "10 + 8", and "Twarz Wida". ---dustygroove.com
