The most "spektarcular" discovery of Croatian Jazz Funk recordings from the private archiv of bass-player and producer Davor Rocco, researched by Višeslav Laboš !!
An amazing collaboration of the high-class Beat and Funk musicians of Zagreb´s progressive music-scene from the early 1970s. The members Enco Lesić, Davor Rocco, Dragan Brčić and Neven Frangeš were also performing with Ex-Yugoslavian Jazz and Funk legends like Boško Petrović, Gabi Novak, Drago Mlinarec, Josipa Lisac and Grupa Indexi.
Spektar Combo released unfortunately just one, mostly vocalised album on croatian label Suzy Records in 1974. But , "...it was difficult to imagine what Spektar sounded like, before their self-titled album was released", as the legendary critic of Croatian Jazz-Rock scene Dražen Vrdoljak was articulated.
Black Pearl is very proud to have finally the answer, how these hidden golden instrumental treasures were sounding like. That shows us the much more brilliant colours of the Croatian Jazzfunk spectre !!
This album includes 6 tracks of the fabulous Spektar project, two Beat Jazz Grinder of shortlived Rocco´s pre-Spektar outfit Grupa Hej and one more track from Rocco-Supermarket.

Only recently discovered this and am asking myself why I had never heard of Yussef Dayes in particular... live this whole album. Such musicianship and a fresh/modern take on classic jazz forms. Massive respect to the musicians Pilot Fish

I have to say that this one is one of the finest compilation I've ever seen. The story, the cover, the pictures, the booklet and of course the music! Just magic, like a time machine. fabmeyer
