Story Of Polish Jazz (2004)

One of the most succesful releases of legendary fusion guitarist Jarek Śmietana became famous for his collaboration with rapers with whom he recorded a tune summarizing in short entire history of Polish jazz. Outstanding (if only available to Polish speakers unfortunately)!
