Three friends, immediately absorbed into the local scene and the formation of “Changes” was soon to follow. Inexhaustible energy, somehow weird sense of humor and an extraordinary devotion to music bought them many fans and followers. Although deeply rooted in the music of the great progressive rock and jazz-rock groups of the 70’s, their musical approach is very modern and broadminded, and their virtuosity and inventiveness truly amazing.All the members of “Changes” are ideal companions to make this group a unique musical unit. Astonishing dynamics, sublime sophistication and finesse. Performances on this record rival the achievements by players of international fame. A classic example of stability and serenity, without tending to drift towards chaos and anarchy in the “heat of creation”. This poise should not be mistaken for lack of imagination – their intense and spirited playing throughout this record is truly inspirational. The choice of material for this record is also quite unusual. The tracks vary from completely improvised pieces to carefully arranged compositions. Among the numerous versions of “Summertime” one can find on records, the one included here – a suite of seven variations on the theme by George Gershwin – is truly brilliant. The beautiful arrangement of Béla Bartók’s “Dawn” is (as far as I know) the world premiere recording of this recently discovered composition by the master.
