Search - Lester Bowie :: Not Two

"NotTwo" is a rare document of one of the last recordings by revered jazz musician Lester Bowie, recorded live on the 19th of November 1997 at the Eskulap Club, Poznan Jazz Fair, Poznan, Poland. On this record Lester Bowie is joined by on of the best European jazz and experimental music bands of 1990s scene - Milosc. In around 1992, a unique scene began in Gdansk, Poland and surrounding cities. "Yass", as the scene came to be called, generally has its philosophic roots in the Vajrayana Buddhist faith. Mainly, these musicians focus on freeing music from categorization and on blurring genre definitions. These are stunning musicians, versatile, dexterous, and often full of humor. "Yass" groups such as Milosc have collectively transformed virtually every tradition of jazz, from swing to free-jazz, and have mixed in punk, noise, and playful iconoclasm.
