Jan Kopinski's Reflektor,
MIRRORS
Blending jazz with Polish folk music,
with Mirrors, Kopinski has developed a sound that is uniquely his own. Founder
of 1980's experimental improv-funk ensemble Pinski Zoo and a veteran of multi-media
projects and movie soundtracks, Kopinski’s compositions are full of imagery
and bare emotion, but intuitively leaves it up to the listener to determine
exactly how it manifests. Tenor & alto sax, viola, bass, piano, drums,
and vocals. Haunting melodies cutting through an ambient hush, austere sax
darting over earthy rhythm sections, vocals melting icy piano chords, each
tune is a scene and the album is a book, and its one that you should get on
your shelf. Highly recommended.
