Da, skinuo sam jan Gaberek - Visible World, i mogu ti reci da uopste nije los album... sta vise slusao sam ga celo vece i bas mi se dopao... Prava vecernja muzicica, relaksirajuca...
Баш лепо. И врло сам радознала да чујем, премда, морам признати да иначе, генерално, Гарбарека нешто не "миришем". (Имам неке албуме, више ради колекционарства, али ми је он помало... хм... појеностављено речено - досадан).
Иначе, у међувремену, донекле (нећу да смарам овде како и шта) реших овај проблем с поменутим сајтом, и сад улазим опет до миле воље. Већ сам поскидала доста ствари за ова два дана. Кад сам ушла тамо, осећала сам се као кад сам била клинка, после урнебесања на Ташу, у посластичарници "Шехерезада" не знам шта бих пре узела . Ради и "Рапид". Једино торенти и даље зезају, али решићемо ваљда и то, па онда ,божездравља и ја да наставим скидање овог Гарбарека. (Ако не успем, ето, бар знам где има, хе, хе). А можда се и то нађе на "Рапиду".
Ево, на пример, између осталог, шта сам скинула. Опет, "домаћа кухиња", врло укусна:

Reviews :
This is just what listeners need: a collection of radicalized street-smart jazz (tailor-made for soundtracks), jazz-funk, and fusion sounds from Yugoslavia in the late '70s and early '80s. No, I'm not jivin'. Balkan Express features eight tracks (how perfect) of slinky, funky, highly stylized imitations of American soundtrack and bachelor pad music -- of the same variety that was made here almost 20 years before. And the truth is that this would be pure kitsch if the musicianship, arrangements, and tunes themselves weren't so badass great. Once the lack of originality is dispensed with, you can get down to the grease: Dusko Gojkovic's "Quo Vadis Samba," a theme taken right from the film with its awesome, post-bossa rhythmic inventions and front-line horn invention that would never have been part of a Brazilian recording. The arrangement is tight, almost choppy, but the tone on the horns is smooth as Kessler's. Then there's Milan Stojanovic's read of "Bag's Groove" by Miles Davis, with its sinister minor-key opening and slinky, shifty flute as the lead line instead of a muted trumpet, giving the entire thing a spy movie feel. The bluesy soloing in the break is wonderfully done and the rhythm section, even though they're walkin' off the time and nothing more, is straight-eighting it all the way with feeling. Also, the RTB Big Band should not go unmentioned for its arrangement of the title track, which is funky as hell with odder-than-Milosevic harmonies in the reed section. Misa Blam comes in with "Memory," a sub-Herbie Mann groover, but it's dirtier and grittier, as if it were recorded in the foundry. Finally, Bora Rokovic's "String-Em" is a dead knockoff of Ennio Morricone, with glissando strings, reverb, spacious architecture, and a full-on fuzak interlude that slips the funky groove into the listener's mind through the back door. This is an awesome collection, and necessary for anybody's incredibly strange music library. ~ (Thom Jurek, All Music Guide)
RTB BIG BAND – BALKAN EKSPRES RTB Big Band is institution on it's own. It is like a Jazz academy. Almost everyone who did anything in Jazz in Yugoslavia went through this band. It was formed in 1948 and still going strong. In 1978 they released double album for their 30 anniversary packed with quality music. Balkan Ekspres is just one of them. Tough funky fusion with excellent arrangements.
MISHA BLAM - SECANJE (MEMORY) Misha is the best and probably the most used bass player in Yugoslavia also well known for organizing Belgrade Jazz Festivals. He was a long time companion of Dusko Gojkovic and member of RTB Big band but had some projects as a leader as well. Here is represented with extremely tasteful and deep fusion track from his LP "Secanja" (Memories). The track rises gradually and gets you more and more by every second.
LALA KOVACEV - EMINA Lala is the most original and definitely the best Yugoslavian drummer. Slow and deep fusion with a heavy funky bass line based on the traditional folklore theme. Full of excellent break beats. Check brilliant soulful solos on trumpet and saxophone.
MILAN STOJANOVIC - BAG’S GROOVE This track is taken from the extremely rare 7" EP from 1961 and was the only record that multi instrumentalist Stojanovic recorded under his name. He plays flute on this track and resemblance to Yusef Lateef is unbelievable. I had to check cover to make sure.
DUSKO GOJKOVIC - QUO VADIS SAMBA There is no need to talk about trumpeter Dusko. He is the best known Yugoslavian musician. Quo Vadis Samba is taken from the LP "Trumpet and Rhythm Units" and is Jazz Samba at it's best. It drives all the way through. Tip for DJs: Play it in a mix with Shamek Farrah's "Waiting For Marvin".
GABY NOVAK - CARAVAN Gaby is well known singer but not in Jazz. Popular music and ballads were her forte. Digging through the crates I was supprised to find her Jazz 10" from the early 60’s including this astonishing version of Caravan. Very trippy 60’s sound and beautiful voice of Gaby will definitely move you up. The most enlightening version I've ever heard. Works excellent in clubs.
BIG BAND RTS - NE GA SI PRODAVAJ RTB Big Band under the new name (Radio Television Serbia) strikes back. After all these years the quality has just improved. Amazing combination of Macedonian and Latino rhythms, and when you expect the least, beautiful string arrangements. It is a masterpiece and knowing that guests are Stjepko Gut, Peter Mihelich, Reggie Johnson and Alvin Queen there is no wonder. It is also worth mentioning String Ensemble “Jazzart”.
BORA ROKOVIC - STRING-EM Pianist Rokovic was for many years member of RTB Big Band and also known by his work on MPS. String-Em is a soundtrack style composition consistent of several parts. It changes mood several times, from strings arrangements to Jazz-Fusion with solid bass line and back. Other musicians on this track are RTB Studio Ensemble and Mica Markovic on tenor sax with mad, mad solo at the end.
