Although not a household name in the American Jazz world alto-saxophonist Zbigniew Namyslovski emerged as one of the most respected European Jazz players of his time. Recorded in Switzerland in 1978 this self-titled set includes some great, funked up fusion numbers. ‘Mango Boogie’ takes the blueprint laid down by his America counterparts and delivers a tough groove, the shimmering, expansive ‘Time Goes By’ is a delight while ‘Hobble’ has a collision of Eastern European and Trans-Atlantic Jazz ideas to good effect. The crazy ‘Ohh’ is an abstract exploration of tempos, sounds and rhythms…definitely pushing the boundaries there
