SBB contains a rich variety of influences, which include symphonic prog with intricate and fully orchestrated arrangements. The acoustic guitar adds a very interesting texture. Beauty of the keyboard parts, romantic sonorities of the piano parts and careful, aerial vocal parts brought this group close to PINK FLOYD, CAMEL or GENESIS. Some of their albums were released in West Germany and Czechoslovakia, and they are now active again. "Follow My Dream" and "Welcome" are probably their two best. SBB - Antology 1974-2004 - Absolutely unique collection of 22 albums by SBB, one of the best progressive bands ever! The box contains all catalogue releases of SBB plus some extras!!! SBB Off. Site
Biography 1.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. 2. SBB came into being in 1971 as Silesian Blues Band founded by Jozef Skrzek. (Skrzek was classicaly educated as a pianist but by the time of Silesian Blues Band he was a bassist renowned for his work with Breakout, the famous (in Poland, of course) Polish blues group.) The other members of the band were Jerzy Piotrowski (drums) and Apostolis Antymos (guitar). The trio made some radio recordings but it was very hard for them to break through into the Polish musical market. However, they were noticed by Czeslaw Niemen. (Nieman was sort of "king" of Polish rock. He became extremely famous in Poland in 60's, when he was performing pop and soul songs. In early 70's he turned to the experimental, progressive music balancing on the edge of rock and jazz. I can heartily recommend his 70's stuff. It is a truly progressive and original music). As a result, they joined him in the NIEMEN group, taking part in his artistic explorations and making music, which can be best described as 'impressionistic' and 'aleatoric' . Together they recorded Requiem dla Van Gogha (Requiem for Van Gogh) and Marionetki (Puppets), two records with truly unforgettable music. In 1974 they parted with Niemen and begin to play on their own

reviewLine-up: - Antymos Apostolis / guitars - Jerzy Piotrowski / drums, percussion - Jуzef Skrzek / keyboards, harmonica, vocals An extremely inspired album. Very guitar oriented in the Mahavishnu-era, McLaughlin vein. Apostolis rules here and for a good reason, he is fantastic and this is my favourite recording by SBB. The distorted, often off-key, staccato guitar comes off convincingly - he is one of the masters of that - and there is a strong cohesion between the tracks. Pity, they declare at the beginning of the concert that it's a one-off that they'll never repeat..... Kind of symphonic rock, lending itself to much room for heartfelt improvisations.The compositions are very good and original and when I listen to the CD I often have to listen to it again, even for the third time. It grows on one. Very satisfying. Even with the odd moment of lull, it's still a desert island CD for me. They play with much joy and the trio creates a "wall of sound" which is truly amazing, considering the instruments available at that time. In spite of the guitar taking a prominent place - which is atypical to this extent - the soaring keyboards are very well represented, too. Thankfully, the somewhat overindulgent vocals on other releases are kept to a minimum here.... I've seen them performing live a few times and it was always the highlight of that period in my life Their offering - whilst often pleasing - is best measured by something of this album. It's full of raw passion, one of a kind. Don't miss it!

reviewLine-up: - Jуzef Skrzek: vocals, keyboards, harmonica - Antymos Apostolis: guitar - Jerzy Piotrowski: percussion & drums SBB has always been much better at live recordings than at painstaking mixes at the studio. They represented a "quiet revolution" behind the Iron Curtain, practically the only band that went well beyond the thinly veiled message in words, but more like a musical revolution! Few bands got away with largely improvised music there, SBB is one of the noteable exceptions. (They come from Poland.) They also established a genre in improvised trio performance and - naturally - followers. (The first incarnation of the Hungarian band EAST was one of them, but their album releases with forever changing line-up would not stand up to that anymore.) The concert was sensational - at that time and I was one in the audience! Hearing it again some 25 years later it didn't grab me first. Why? They have better stuff, that I am more enthused about. Still, a second listen delivered more pleasure and the third one is definitely confirming that it's something I wouldn't want to be without. This trio delivers a powerhouse in performance, their live recordings often went beyond two hours of non-stop improvisations. Using relatively unsophisticated equipments, they worked even harder to bring out the most of the scarce resources. In the performance there are elements of ELP, Mahavishnu - also a drum solo that's worthy of Billy Cobham's envy... - and most importantly SBB - without copying their peers... Budai Ifjusagi Park ( which means "Youth Park of Buda" in Hungary, Budapest) has been an open air concert venue under the romantic surrounds of the Old Castle. SBB visited there every year in my youth. It was always an event to look forward to. This performance is worthy of your progressive attention, largely improvised with little vocals, all three performers are brilliant and can play in any genre to satisfaction. Here, the bandleader Josef Skrsek rules on keyboards, bass, harmonica and the odd vocals, leaving the absolutely exceptional guitar player Anthymos Apostolis to do quiet credible fills. Now, that guy is one of a kind and I implore you to hear his dominant performance on SBB - "Karlstad", another live performance by the band. There, he plays dissonant chords and solos that I don't hear from any other guitar player - ever. So, hop on your mail-order site and get it while you can. Still, this album is also worthy of one's attention - they don't play music like this anymore!!! Get it, too!. Trackslisting: 1. Freedom With Us 2. Wolanie o brzek szkla - final 3. (Carpathian) Mountain Melody 4. Z ktorych krwi krew moja 5. Follow My Dream (instr.) 6. Follow Our Music - bass solo 7. Odejscie - final 8. Drums solo 9. I Want Somebody 10. Shake Baby 11.
