Pinski Zoo met Wojtek Konikiewicz exactly 30 years ago that JAN KOPINSKI first led PINSKI ZOO on several extensive tours through a bleak, but musically exciting post-martial law Poland.
Several collaborations, tours, recordings and journeys of research in Poland, playing their defiant, uncompromising music at major festivals, but also in towns and villages barely visited by western groups. Albums include a rare Poljazz album – Live in Warsaw, a UK album- Zone K and Jan’s recent of reflections upon Poland – Mirrors.
JAN KOPINSKI’s sax sound originated in the inspiring late Coltrane, Ayler era, with a mixture of Jazz passion, abstract funk and melancholic Polish folk influenced cries. PZ co-founder, Steve Iliffe’s brilliantly dense and angular keyboards, a dazzling rhythm section of electric bassists, Karl Bingham and Stefan Kopinski and stunning drummer, Pat Illingworth can conjure jazz excitement in a mix of whiplash grooves and tender composition....
