Hm. Organ-led-jazz-flavored-pop-oriented rock here. I'll give him a go with crossover, but I can't guarantee he'll pass.

According to RYM he did a second album called simply 'Music', in 1976 - the brief review of it on there in Polish isn't very complimentary though...  Shocked
 
As far as this first album goes it's definitely progressive rock, & with a jazzy touch - though not JR/F material I don't think. Maybe Eclectic, maybe Crossover? - I'm really not sure. Heavily reliant on the use of Organ throughout, & mainly instrumental, which is a good thing because the few vocals that there are (eg.on the second track of side two - 'Breakfast At Midnight') are pretty dreadful tbf.  Ermm 
 
Let's see what Andy makes of it.

Piotr Figiel was a Polish organist who usually played as session musician for many pop artists, but he also recorded one (maybe more?) jazz-rock/progressive rock album called "Organy Hammonda" (with such title you can't go wrong ;-):
 
 
 
 
 
 
P.S. This artist was introduced to me by my Internet friend from...Canada :-). What a shame, that I'm a Pole and never heard about him. It's a pity that Figiel just died on December 2011.
