Skalpel - Polish Jazz EP (2001)

Probably the most famous EP in Polish nu jazz history. Recorded in 2001 and sent to many recording labels, it secured a contract with famous Ninja Tune lable for Skalpel. Duo of DJs from Wrocław: Marcin Cichy and Igor Pudło made subsequently such great recordings for this label as "Sculpture" (2003), "Skalpel" (2004) or "Confusion" (2005). And after such a splendid beginning 5 years of silence followed. Fortunately last year Igor Pudło issued his first album solo so this story continues. Check his "Breslau" one of the best nu jazz recording in recent years in Poland.

Down there you can find two tunes from this EP by Skalpel. Many years passed and this is home-made recording but it still sounds fresh and attractive :
