About:
Michal Urbaniak has been a leading force of not only Polish but European (at least) jazz since 1970s.
All elements of his artistic personality are already on this record: straight-ahead expression paired with Slavic ingenuousness, musical eclectics and influences of Polish folk music flawlessly incorporated into vocabulary of American jazz and an ear for contemporary articulation and instrumentation.
Since his beginnings as a collaborator in the bands of such leaders as Komeda and Namyslowski, Urbaniak has always been very sensitive to new trends in jazz music. After becoming a leader of his own groups he has been able to find excellent partners to help him to fulfill his musical ideas and at the same time maintain their own originality.
In years after the release of “Live Recordings” his musical taste has not changed – he has continued his hunt after cutting edge styles, sounds, genres and technologies. That perhaps explains always-moving focus of his artistic pursuits: from jazz-rock of 1970s to fusion and funk of 1980s to hip-hop of 1980/1990s. But Urbaniak's explorations have never - to quote critic Kazimierz Czyz - "roamed outside of borders of art form".
It would be impossible to find anybody else among Polish jazz musicians who has been able to reach so many people in the world with his music and that successfully position itself on world jazz scene. Michal Urbaniak found inspiration in his own folk tradition and created homogenous and very unique form of musical expression. The one that has combined jazz tradition, rock simplicity, formal concentration of contemporary music and his own fresh vitality. The jazz art form. His contemporaries agree "Urbaniak is one of those musicians who don't fool - they play jazz music".
