EABS
Slavic Spirits

Essential Contempory Jazz from Poland. Do not miss it.

Polish septet EABS apply an innovatve approach to jazz, distlling it
through the prism of hip-hop, blending it with elements of soul, funk and
electronic music. ‘Slavic Spirits’ was 2 years in the making and contains
100% original material. They are joined by 22a head-honcho Tenderlonious
who lends his exceptonal soprano saxophone and flute playing
to all seven tracks.

For this LP the musicians turned to Slavic mythology and Polish demonology, while
pondering upon the contemporary spiritual conditon of Poles. The enigmatc
“Slavic melancholy” remains the main inspiraton, as the band tried to extract it
from their own DNA. ‘Slavic Spirits’ is an endeavour to get in touch with the world
of a long and brutally lost culture which, due to lack of sources, will never be
thoroughly explored.
