Janusz Stefański is a f*cking octopus.

Just listened. Positively thrilling unassailable fusion. First 80% or so heavily Miles. Then it breaks more like Herbie Hancock and Jean Luc Ponty and Weather Report.
I love the way these Eastern European guys were so capable and willing to go off but they also are unabashed about the melodic hooks you can sink your tooths into.
What a beautiful lost gem.
Btw, if you haven’t already i recommend checking out Wadada Leo Smith’s Spiritual Dimensions.
