Sounds Like: New CD OVERSEASON recorded by Ondrej Pivec in New York is out :

Ondrej Pivec is coming with a new album Overseason realized in New York, where Ondrej and his Organic Quartet colleague - drummer TomÃ¡Å¡ Hobzek â€“ came for a short stay to gain some experience in summer 2007. Pivec and Hobzek arrived to New York with the only aim to learn new things from their famous colleagues, arrange new contacts, play music and be a part of the jazz cosmopolis for a while. The fact that they..ve actually returned with a brand new album released was just a very lucky coincidance combination of that moment â€“ the guitarist Jake Langley ( www.jakelangley.com ), the regular accompanyist of one of the todays most famous Hammond organists Joey de Francesco, offered his cooperation after he listened to the album Never Enough . Then Ondrej..s short performance with guitarist Peter Bernstein opened the door to the Long Island recording studio. And the last but not least the company was joined by the saxophonist Joel Frahm ( www.joelfrahm.com ) who has recorded with some of the top musicians like Brad Mehldau, Kurt Rosenwinkel or Lee Konitz.

New ORGANIC QUARTET CD: is out!

"NEVER ENOUGH":

was released in early May 2007. The CD contains 7 brand-new tunes written by the band members (Pivec, --moldas, Dole--al) and one well-known jazz standard Lil' Darlin' by Neal Hefti. The band's sound was intensified in two pieces by a guest horn section featuring Miroslav Hlocal on trumpet and Lubo-- Soukup on the sax. The last two compositions - Lil' Darlin' and Don't Get Any Ideas (with the lyrics written by Jonathan Ramirez Garcia) - brooch a new domain for the up-til-now exclusively instrumental group, as Pivec sings on them.

The CD is released by the independent label Animal Music, owned by Petr Ostrouchov, an ex-member of the ska band "Sto zvÃrat", soundtrack composer (--elary), lawyer and above all a huge jazz fan. The distribution for the Czech and Slovak Republics will be done by SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, the media service by 2MEDIA company and in Japan the CD is being distributed by Kohshin Media.

The album will also be released in the US by the prestigious HammondBeat label for a worldwide digital distribution.

Record Label: Animal Music
Type of Label: Indie
