"Overnight"
There’s no need to look for superlatives and endorsements from world-renowned names because music created by Balzar - double bass, Macha – piano, Slavicek – drums leaves no doubt. I’m known as a sensible person, very judicious and critical, and also quite bored by jazz. However, the guys play fantastically! The solos! The sounds! This is timeless well-mastered mainstream, which oozes with jazz like the spring with new life. It also draws handfuls of beauty from classical music. This is the finish line in a longdistance race.
