SOLITON 707
By Adam Baruch
This is the second album by Polish Jazz-Rock Fusion ensemble Elec-Tri-City, which comprises of bassist/keyboardist/composer Janusz Mackiewicz, guitarist Marcin Wądołowski, vibraphonist Dominik Bukowski (who plays his electronic vibraphone called xylosynth) and drummer Grzegorz Sycz. The album presents ten original compositions, seven of which are by Mackiewicz and the remaining three are one each by the other ensemble members.
The album continues the path
set by the debut and presents a superbly elegant Jazz-Rock Fusion, based on
beautiful melodic compositions, which serve as vehicles for extended
improvisations by the ensemble members. The music brings fond memories of what
Fusion was at its early days, when it was all about the music and not about
technical, but boring proficiency show-offs by mediocre musicians. Each and
every one of the tunes on this album is a wonderful piece of stylish music,
which stands very well on its own.
All four members of the
ensemble are experienced musicians with impressive personal record and the
music they play here is evidently a labor of love and joy of playing. There is
plenty of superb guitar, synthesizer, bass and drum solos to keep every Fusion
fan happy. Overall this is a very
enjoyable and yet exceptionally musical and elegant album, which is a true joy
to listen to from start to end; one of those pieces of music that can simply
"make your day". Warmly recommended!
