The first of our European block. CNQ is a Polish band. They create a a great tune out of a simple riff repeated. It's all about the ensemble and the way that it is arranged. This tune is from the Pig Inside the Gentleman album. More info here:
Some of the bands / tunes in this block will be North European in origin. Possibly because of the language barriers and difficulty in pronouncing, let alone remembering, the names means that we overlook this great pool of talent and the new perspectives that their different musical traditions bring. Jan Garbarek is only a well known name here because of his work with Keith Jarrett. The same could be said of other better known North European jazz musicians, that their international status has only been confirmed by working with American artists. It is therefore great to see that the fabulous Finish trumpeter Verneri Pohjola, has been signed to Edition Records. Check out some of his work on Soundcloud.
