Jazz Q - Elegie (1976)

 

The fourth album from this band from the Czech Republic.

The band was Martin Kratochvil on synths, moog, electric piano, organ and keyboards. He was helped by the fourteen pieces big Jazz Q with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, cello, violin, electric harp and vocals.

I was impressed by their 1975 album named Album as you can read in my review from last week. Jazz Q is a band that I find both impressive and interesting. It is obvious from listening to many other bands that the music scene from behind the repressive Communist regimes behind the Iron Curtain was pretty impressive. Thanx to ProgArchives, this scene has no come to mine and others' attention.

The music on this forty minutes long album is fusion.

There are a lot of short guitar solos and some bass solos here. The keyboards, organ and electric pianos are adding a lot of themes here too.

The music is mid-tempo, complex and quirky. It has a lot of interesting details too.

This is therefore another good album from this band. An album that should get this band some more admirers. More Jazz Q album reviews to follow this spring and early summer.
