Pinski Zoo

After Image

Slam

Album description

Pinski Zoo celebrate 25 years of kicking down the barriers and sticking doggedly out for individualism with a new double album - "AFTER IMAGE", a collection of live tracks recorded on tours between 2003 and 2005 – a comprehensive live album which catches the band in full flow.

The true UK originals of free funk or power fusion – this cult band are almost impossible to categorize, swinging between virtuosic jazz to gritty funk with freedom and movement, veering into left-field territory and back into grand melody without blinking.

A highly potent and controversial force on the late 80’s /90’s UK jazz scene, they foreshadowed later styles, and were linked with harmolodic outfits, such as Ornette Coleman’s Prime Time.
