SBB (Silesian Blues Band) - Follow My Dream / Welcome (2005) Metal Mind Productions

MP3/320Kbs/375MB

jazz-rock, prog rock, more like symphonic prog

LINK

SBB was one of the most popular super-groups in Poland and Europe in the 1970s.

The band was one of the forerunners of progressive rock and jazz-rock and attracted many influential jazz musicians, who often performed with the band. They have been performing over 45 years to date. SBB stands for Silesian Blues Band, but they sound more like symphonic prog and jazz rock, with lots of improvs at their shows. They played in several cities and smaller towns in Sweden already in 1975, and in Denmark at the Roskilde Festival in 1978. That's also when they played a lot of then West German cities, as well as Esbjerg in Denmark...
