SBB
Label: Metal Mind Records The album Unusual live album, recorded at the unusual concert, when SBB supported hard rock legend Deep Purple (Spodek, Katowice, February 24th, 2006). The band played in 4-piece line-up. Paul Wertico, who could not play due to previous engagement, was replaced by Irek Głyk, and the trio line-up was completed with Sławek Piwowar on second guitar (last time he played with SBB was 25 years ago!). Perfect choice of tracks, the band kept the good balance between compositions from their last studio album "New Century" and SBB classic tracks, like "Walkin' Around The Stormy Bay", with Apostolis on the second drums, or "Memento z banalnym tryptykiem", that night dedicated to the victims of constructional catastrophe which had taken place a month before the show in one of The International Fair buildings in Katowice. Biography SBB is a legend. They started in 1971; then for two years they performed with Czeslaw Niemen (in the band Niemen). Eventually in 1974 the name was shortened to SBB (Search, Break, Build). Since 1974 Jozef Skrzek, Apostolis Antymos and Jerzy Piotrowski have recorded several albums in Poland and abroad and they played hundreds of gigs all around Europe, sharing the stages with such artists as Bob Marley (with whom they co-headlined Roskilde Festival in 1978), Elton John, Soft Machine, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Charles Mingus Dynasty, Jack Bruce Group, Thin Lizzy, Canned Heat, Omega or Klaus Szultze. In the beginning of the 90s they returned after 10-year silence and played series of concerts in USA. In 2000 drums in SBB were taken over by Paul Wertico. Considered one of the best drummers in the world, for the last 18 years he'd played in Pat Metheny Group, appearing on: First Circle, The Falcon and the Snowman, Still Life Talking, Letter from Home, Secret Story, The Road To You, We Live Here, Quartet, Imaginary Day. The band continues to play in this line-up to this day. Fascinated by Mahavishnu Orchestra SBB started searching for their own means of musical expression. As the time passed, the music calmed down, and the improvised, Hendrix-like moments were more and more often contrasted by softened compositions. Their style evolved into kind of progressive rock, in which one could hear influences of classical music as well as jazz-rock instrumental frenzy. Their last studio CD "New Century" was the first Polish album released in DVD Audio format, incl. three soundtracks: High Definition Stereo 96/24, DTS 96/24, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. It was produced by Mack (Queen, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin). In March 2006 SBB headlined Baja Prog Festival, one of the most important progressive festivals in the world. Track list
