Description:

This is the case, a definitive work from the Czech contemporary jazz scene! Jaromir Honzak has captured the "present" of contemporary and Eastern Europe with this new and important work for 2020! A new masterpiece from Eastern Europe that opens up new possibilities for ECM-like contemporary jazz! The new album by Jaromir Honzak, a leading bassist and a key figure in the uniquely developing contemporary jazz scene in the Czech Republic! This album was recorded with the same band members who played on his previous album, "Early Music", and the chemistry that was already evident on that album has blossomed beautifully on this album. Contrary to the irony of the title, "incomprehensible," which is both profound and implied, what is here is contemporary jazz whose richness is immediately palpable. The melodies are full of brilliance, indulging in the romance characteristic of Eastern Europe, and of course, every single sound here is unusually beautiful and polished, a true gem of a sound.The more one listens, the more one gets absorbed in the performance, and the more one gasps for breath... The flexibility of the main melody, which is swayed by the guitar and saxophone, the exquisite sense of the rhythm section, which is neither too heavy nor too light to support it, and the overall sense of balance of the band, which is clearly evident when taken as a whole, are astonishingly outstanding. As ECM turns its attention to the outside of Europe, this album eloquently shows us that there is still music in the Czech Republic that can follow, and sometimes even surpass, ECM's music. Highly recommended!
