Vladimir Misik Vteriny mesice a roky - ANI131 - Jazz - par Animal Music

Vladimír Mišík is back with a new album, Vteriny, mesíce a roky (Moments, Months and Years). The album is Mišík’s third collaboration with the producer Petr Ostrouchov and follows the prize-winning projects, Jednou te potkám (Once, I Will Meet You; 2019) and Nocní obraz (Night Image; 2021). The album is comprised of fifteen new songs, with lyrics by Vladimír Mišík and Michael Žantovský, songs based on poems by Jan Skácel, Jirí Dedecek and František Gellner, and one text tailored directly for Mišík by Tomáš Belko, a one-time fellow band-member of Ostrouchov in Sto zvírat. In the studio, Mišík surrounded himself by ten musicians, with the Blue Shadows quartet at the core, which also performed on the previous recordings, featuring Josef Štepánek and Petr Ostrouchov on the guitar, Matej Belko on the bass guitar and Martin Novák on the drums. The other players include pianist Jan Steinsdörfer and Hammond organist Ondrej Pivec (now living in the USA), who both were involved on the album Nocní obraz as well, guitarist Lukáš Martinek, double bassist Tomáš Liška and two special international guests – the Cuban-American percussionist Michito Sanchez and the British performer on the pedal steel guitar B.J. Cole – who both have featured in projects of illustrious colleagues such as Sting, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Depeche Mode, Crosby, Stills and Nash, James Taylor, David Gilmour, R.E.M., Björk, Stevie Wonder, and others. The album is released on CD and as a 2LP and includes a comprehensive booklet with studio session photos and the lyrics.
