Michal Urbaniak -In Concert (LP, Warner)

In Poland there is an incomparable concentration of expressive jazz violinists, which, in addition to Zbigniew Seifert, is mainly due to Michal Urbaniak. Unlike Seifert, who is considered Coltrane’s counterpart on the violin, Urbaniak focused more on electrical sound research. Together with his wife Urszula Dudziak, who was long considered the most experimental singer in Europe, the keyboarders Wojchiech Karolak and Adam Makowicz (Polish Jazz Vol. 35, 43) and drummer Chezlaw Bartkowski (Polish Jazz Vol. 50), he founded the band Constellation. In concert (1973) offers hypnotic space jazz that sounds like a Polish translation of Bitches Brew seems. No wonder Miles Davis Urbaniak 13 years later for his album tutu hired.
