“Old Smoke” is out now on “Relative Pitch Records”. Three great jazz masters
had recorded this album – it’s Brandon Lopez (contrabass), Chris Corsano
(drums) and Steve Baczkowski (saxophone). These musicians have their own style
and unique sound. Expression, fantasy, creativity and wild imagination are
joined together in their music. These elements go along with spontaneous solos,
busting thrills, hot spills, intensive blasts of energy, conceptual ideas,
innovative point of view and original decisions. Surprises mixed up with
impression and spontanity make a great combo – that makes an effort to
inspiring, dynamic and moving sound. The music is based on free improvisation
and avant-garde jazz. The roots of 1960’s and 1970’s avant-garde jazz are

experiments, special effects and other similar things. All these elements
gently joined together makes inspiring, evocative and expressive sound. [...]
