Description
Podobizna, the first album of the Prague big band led by Milan Svoboda, was created in 1977 and immediately received an extraordinary response from both the audience and critics. In addition to the bandleader, compositions were contributed by Michael Kocáb and Jiří Stivín. The prestigious American magazine DownBeat rated the album four and a half stars out of five and wrote: "The big band plays with vigor, the rhythm section pulses with electric sounds, and the musicians dive into soloing as if unleashed – sometimes brilliantly, like saxophonist Jiří Stivín, but always effectively. All six tracks are original. Any American big band could have them in their repertoire." The album disappeared from the market for four decades and is now being released for the first time in a CD reissue. The release is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
