MIND of BLUES 3

This is my third album of the series "Mind of Blues". In the comments to the first CD I wrote: "All the resemblance of this title to the title of the famous 'Kind of Blue' of Miles Davis is totally casual".
This is of course a lie. Every jazz musician who has ever heard 'Kind of Blue' (everyone did, I think) has been influenced, consciously or not, by that LP. This is what I refer to as "Instrumental Blues".

Blues itself and its importance in jazz music needs no comments. In fact, I have always been fascinated by the blues, in any form. However, as I was not born in Louisiana, I am not a blues singer, so this songs are instrumental. In my musical career I have been working with Dixieland bands (many years ago in Poland) and with many jazz and blues musicians in Mexico.  However, I always prefer to play blues on the Hammond organ, clarinet or saxophone with a good blues band.

The material on this CD is mainly blues and ballad. This is rather some attempt to create an elegant and swinging music influenced by the blues. All songs, except Bille's Bounce of Charlie Parker and After you've gone, are my compositions, and I also play all the instruments.
