Ondrej Pivec - Overseason

This recording was made in New York when organist Ondrej Pivec and drummer Tomas Hobzek visited the US in the summer of 2007. Initially the visit was only for some orientation, to meet people, make some contacts, play a little and be part of the jazz metropolis of the world. The fact that they returned with a complete album was primarily the result of a number of fortunate coincidences: listening to Ondrej Pivec's debut album 'Never Enough' aroused the interest of guitarist Jake Langley, and Pivec’s short performance with guitarist Peter Bernstein later opened the doors for him to a recording studio on Long Island. Hobzek’s participation in a jam session brought in saxophonist Joel Frahm.The session features four new compositions by Pivec, one by Hobzek and one by Langley and two standards round out the repertoire. The material was prepared in one week and the album recorded in one day. The sound of the album is bursting with the spontaneity with which the album came together “unplanned,” as well as the drive that Pivec and Hobzek got out of working with musicians who are already well-established in the New York jazz scene.
