Seriale, seriale (1998)

Polish TV series often contains awesome music. It is therefore brilliant idea to use them as springboard for  improvisations. As did Miles and other giants of jazz with American pop tunes like 'Someday My Prince Will Came" originally coming from Disney cartoon movie or countless others both from Broadway or film industry. Music is spoken in standard jazz trio language with strings, yet another good idea adding this 'soundtrack-ish lushness to the sound on the album. The overall effect is satisfactory even though most tunes are treated too straightforwardly to really make them sound entirely fresh and new.
