  • Prehistoric Jazz Evolution

    5 out of 5 stars
    qodwamuzyuvrxifNovember 11, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Inside my copy, there's a press release stating that "Pop Workshop – Song of the Pterodactyl" is the intriguing title of the newest work by Włodek Gulgowski and Zbigniew Namysłowski. This album showcases a musical and technical progression from their prior LP, which was released back in October 1973. The tracks on this new LP are largely improvised, revolving around specific themes, and carry a "prehistoric" atmosphere, crafted from textures and soundscapes. The solid yet flexible base of the music is akin to a volcano, over which a lone alto saxophone soars like an ancient bird—fittingly, "Prehistoric Bird" is also the title of one of the eight songs on the album. The band lineup remains consistent with the previous album, featuring Włodek Gulgowski on keyboards, Zbigniew Namysłowski on alto sax, cello, and flute, and Janne Schaffer on guitar. New additions to the group include Mads Vinding, a bassist from Copenhagen, and Tony Williams, the renowned American drum specialist known for leading the group Lifetime and appearing on many records. The note also mentions that Włodek Gulgowski is currently in the U.S., touring with violinist Michał Urbaniak as part of a band called Fusion.

    Inside my copy, there's a press release that reveals the name of Włodek Gulgowski and Zbigniew Namysłowski's new project: Pop Workshop – Song of the Pterodactyl. This album showcases a musical and technical leap forward from their previous LP, which dropped in October 1973. The tracks here are mostly improvised around specific themes, exuding a "prehistoric" vibe through their textures and soundscapes. It's like a volcano with a steady yet flexible rhythm, over which a solo alto saxophone soars like an ancient bird—fittingly, "Prehistoric Bird" is one of the eight tracks on this album. The lineup is similar to their last album, featuring Włodek Gulgowski on keyboards, Zbigniew Namysłowski on alto sax, cello, and flute, and Janne Schaffer on guitar. New additions include Mads Vinding, a bassist from Copenhagen, and Tony Williams, the renowned American drummer known for leading Lifetime and appearing on many records.

About Pop Workshop

Pop Workshop was a dynamic jazz-funk fusion group that briefly but brilliantly illuminated the Swedish music scene in the early 1970s. Formed in 1973 by the Polish émigrés Wlodek Gulgowski on keyboards and Zbigniew Namysłowski on saxophone, the band was a melting pot of international talent, featuring Swedish guitar virtuoso Janne Schaffer and a rotating cast of top-tier musicians. Despite their short-lived existence, Pop Workshop released two influential albums that showcased their unique blend of jazz, rock, and funk, leaving an indelible mark on the progressive music landscape. Their music is a testament to the power of fusion, seamlessly weaving together intricate compositions with electrifying performances, making them a must-hear for any fan of innovative and boundary-pushing music.
