A piano solo concert is always a very hard challenge for any jazz player. What does the audience expect from it? The artist’s popular repertoire? Listening to standard themes? Or maybe what is expected is something completely different and new, something never heard before?

Vertigo Quintet is a Czechoslovakian group of young and very talented musicians. They come mostly from the „seedbed“ of the Jazz Conservatory of Jaroslav Ježek in Prague. As they stated, they got together to play the music that is close to their hearts in Vertigo group, even if they have been participating in many others interesting projects. The proof of a fact that they are an exact match is their very solid album. Their expression is undeniably influenced by T. Monk, M. Davis, O. Coleman or by the production of the ECM mark from Munich. Of course it is no plagiarism but their own manifestation where the music of the 50´s and 60´s is mingled altogether with subsequent progressive jazz interpretation. When listening to this album I can’t resist mentioning cool jazz from the turn of the 40´s and 50´s full of soulful seriousness and distinctive expression of a personal sublime sensation.
