about
Polish jazz group formed by Krzysztof Popek and Krzysztof Zawadzki. The band was existing in the second part of the 80's. Their first big success was the participating in 'Jazz nad Odrą' festival in 1986. Confirmation of their abilities and ambitions was a debut from 1987 - "Young Power".

Eclectic and unique style of the group - mixing elements of jazz, rock, even reggae - could reminds of Weather Report's, Jaco Pastorious' or brothers Breckers' achievements sometimes. In 1990 the band went inactive.
