Maybe? Best is "Piano Jazz from Chechoslovakia" PLUS a lovely pilsener
as I'm celebrating it right now. You have to know that Piano jazz is just my thing.
I am a big fan of Ahmad Jamal, Carla Bley, Wofgang Dauner, Friedrich Gulda,
Lalo Schifrin, Duke Pearson, Krzystof Komeda, Joe Zawinul, Mary Lou Williams and of course Oscar Peterson and all the other great guys (such as Jan Hammer, Ladislav Gerhardt, Rudolf Rokl, Josef Blaha, Karel Ruzicka & Ludek Svabensky) and for me this LP is heaven!
I bought it because of Jan Hammer. I was pretty amazed when I heard his "Malma Maliny" LP on MPS from 1969 because it is quite different from "Tubbs & Valery". I was as amazed when I heard these recordings here - he's so fresh! as we described HipHop acts in the early 90ies.
So are his czech comrades. It is hard to pick a favourite. Every track is different (the pilsener is working by now) an of course brilliant. But decisions have to be made and so I pick "Made in Tunesia" which will soon be a favourite among Compact Disc Jockeys and "Swingin" that is finished right now. Děkuij!
Na zdraví!

I forgot to mention Horace Silver and the Duke.
I still can't shake "follow my dream" from the SBB lp a bit back.
Impeccable. Cannot be pecc'd!
It's a pleasure.
Here's some Dr. John who might have influenced SBB.

I had this one allready so I know how good it is, but thanks anyway! And you're right - the Karel Ruzicka tune is dope :)
Thanks for that dr. john track.
Kind of off-topic, but for some reason I am thinking of the wings tune "arrow through me" now...

many thanks for sharing it.
@Irondef
yes there is something about it.
maybe the straight beat...and the accentuation of the organ/synthie.
thanks for opening my ears to the wings. what else do i have to know?
all the best,
Basso

Wassup Basso.
That Dr. John track was nice. What album is that from?
@harmonix
it's from "Babylon" - it took me quite some time to find it at a decent price. Good luck.
