Jazz Q - Zvěsti (1978)

 

The fifth album from this band from the Czech Republic.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, piano, organ and keyboards.

One guest added soprano saxophones on two tracks.

Martin Kratochvil was the piano, organ and keyboards player on this album and the record label/the authorities/the band, for reasons unknown to me, decided to name themselves Martin Kratochvil & JazzQ on this album. In this blog, they are only Jazz Q.

This album is clocking in at three quarters of an hour. 

The music is again fusion. The take on fusion here is not as intense and jazzy as on previous albums. There are indeed some progressive rock here and some cinematic rock.

The music is very melodic throughout. There are some good organs, keyboards and guitar solos throughout this album and the music is rich in interesting details.

The result is a good album from this band. This is not among their best albums but it is still worth checking out.
