LEB I SOL

Leb I Sol is a charming Yugoslavian fusion prog group with an amazing guitarist, Vlatko Stefanovski. Some-one to mention along side with jazz-rock guitarist like Jan Akkerman (Focus), Jukka Tolonen (Tasavallan PresidenttiI) and Antymos Apostolis (SBB). Leb I Sol plays instrumental fusion prog pieces and some well composed and moody ballads with vocals in their mother tongue. The influences of Mahavishnu are clearly there, but these tracks are more like compositions that offer a lot of melody. The interplay of the Fender Rhodes and the guitar is tasteful and the rhythmical section offers fast paced jazz en funk. The prog comes from the musicianship, some distinctive moods, the adventitious nature of the compositions and the well though out structures. The recording quality is quite good and the original vinyl sound great (which is not always the case of records from Eastern Europe). Sort of a gem that you are guarantied to enjoy if you like jazz rock of fusion prog.
