Can you explain how Michał Urbaniak plays Jazz like a fake European?

Obviously I would have added more. My list was essential heavy. Once you put all the great Coltrane/Miles on, the list is like 1/4 complete. Here's what I would have added...

The Peter Brötzmann Octet - Machine Gun
Svein Finnerud Trio - Plastic Sun
Alexander von Schlippenbach Trio - Pakistani Pomade

To be honest, I just don't have the knowledge base yet. Teach be you bitch ass hoe.

Manfred Schoof - European Echoes
Globe Unity Orchestra - Globe Unity 67 & 70
Han Bennink & William Breuker - New Acoustic Swing Duo
Dave Burrell - Echo
The Thing - Bag It!
Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, Han Bennink - Topography of the Lungs
Brotzmann/Gustafsson/Nilssen-Love - The Fat Is Gone
Lean Left - Live at Cafe Oto
Parker/Lee/Evans - The Bleeding Edge
Sergey Kuryokhin - The Ways of Freedom

And everything from Brotzmann, Han Bennink/Instant Composers Pool, Evan Parker, and Mats Gustafsson. They all have huge, diverse, very rewarding discographies.

Susana Santos Silva is Portuguese. FYI

In my mind Vyacheslav Ganelin is way up near the top of not at the very top of the European Jazz mountain.

Ancora da Capo by the Ganelin Trio

If after looking at it that doesn’t ring a bell that kind of blows my mind. Not in an insulting way or anything but when I was in college there was a huge mystique about these guys that were literally risking their lives to play free jazz in the Soviet Union. The recordings listed on the Wikipedia page were bootlegged into CDs and cassettes with so many misleading titles and ****. I sent paychecks to Leo Records once I saw their catalog.

Much later I had terse email exchange with Leo Feigin himself (I think) about how bull**** it was the records were so expensive. I was super respectful of what he did bringing so much great music to the world but still. Some of those big mail orders from Leo Records were the last big additions to my physical music collection.
