| 3.5 great | Bedex | November 25th 20 |
The label presents it as radical, psych and experimental jazz, but frankly for the most part I don't see it. 1-2 are relatively standard 70s jazz fusion, or so it feels to my ignorant ears. 3 it's true is a lot more experimental, and gets really weird and abrasive in a cool way before returning to cool groovy jazz fusion with some sweet sweet basslines. It's also true that the album intro is absolutely fantastic, and something GYBE would have dreamed of making despite this having been recorded in 1976. So with an intro this eerie and brooding, I cant deny the transition into fun guitar groovy bass jazz fusion (after a great jazz entry with piano and sax) was a bit of a disappoint for me, even though it's actually a super fun track - just less dark than I was led to expect this would be. 2 has great piano parts after the intro section, but I gotta say it was the least memorable track of the three for me. A sweet record that is frankly worth a check if you dig 70s jazz. https://shukai.bandcamp.com/album/kobzareva-duma-1976 3.7

Awesome 70s Ukrainian jazz fusion - never thought I'd write something like that one day. With traces of psychedelia and abrasiveness all around, this represents well what 70s jazz fusion usually is: weird and cool, switching from almost dissonant trumpet to proggy guitar to spooky electric organ. It's a work of flow: it seems like the rhythm section was solely there to provide a base for the chords to soar in turn. When it calms down, all that's left are the subtle basslines and drum hits. A spiritual work from the Soviet era, what more would you possibly want?
