NEW LIVE DOUBLE ALBUM -  AFTER IMAGE  - SLAMCD 266

�        Pinski Zoo deserves mega-stardom because it not only funked your socks off but forsaw future developments in jazz fusion The Guardian

PINSKI ZOO -  Celebrate 25 years of kicking down the barriers and sticking doggedly out for individualism with a new double album -

"AFTER IMAGE" - is a collection of live tracks from tours between 2003 - 2005, mixing their new material with classic  updated

versions. PINSKI ZOO's best and most representative album to date.

After 10 years of releasing albums of personal projects such as Jan Kopinski's GHOST MUSIC, EARTH (live soumdtrack to film),

ZONE K and Steve Harris's ZA-UM, PINSKI ZOO have released a definitive recording - AFTER IMAGE.  With more interest today in

music outside the box, the full impact of these UK originators of free funk,/power jazz (however it's described) Is captured on 2 cd's of

music with their twin bass propelled rhythm section and the expressive, energetic freedom that live takes bring to the recording.

�         Kopinski is one of Britains few authentic voices on saxophone ..Hi-Fi News and Record Review

�          

PINSKI ZOO -The true UK originals of free funk or power fusion�..call it what you like this cult-like band are almost impossible to categorize - they swing from virtuosic jazz to gritty funk with freedom and movement, veering into leftfield territory and snap back into grand melody without blinking. A highly potent and controversial force on the late 80�s /90�s UK jazz scene with a unique fusion sound, they foreshadowed later styles, and were linked with harmolodic outfits, such as Ornette Coleman�s Prime Time.

.Led by tenor saxist Jan Kopinski - they recorded and toured extensively throughout the UK, Europe Poland and NYC and were regulars in the early days of London�s Jazz Caf�, and playing right at the heart of the New York scene in the 90�s at the Knitting Factory. A unique sound, combining the edgy British grittiness of the street with darker evocations of Eastern Europe.

�         ��volatile mixture of freedom and funk.�� New York Times

�         �For improvisational inventiveness, textural variety and sheer gutsiness, it is difficult to match" BBC Music

"Pinski Zoo themselves are highly original, almost uncategorizable" The Independent
