Polish smooth jazz

     The piece starts with an orchestra pizzicato, then the percussion adds the beat to the piece. The accordion plays its solo introduction and caries the melody through the rest of the piece. This is not the typical jazz style due to its ultra modern twist. However, the vibe and the ambiance the piece emits does have is jazzy qualities. This is also very soothing. The bass gives depth and the electric keyboard adds a nice blend of colors. The trumpet solo pours out its emotion in the later part of the piece. 

  

   The artist is not mainstream yet, but I believe he does a great job fusing the jazz elements and the modern elements together. There is a french quality as the accordion plays through out the music. This gives a typical parisian romantic quality. There is a bit of french whispering in the distance. There is also sound of city traffic played in the background. There is syncopation played throughout the piece that builds on each other.

   The group name is called 'Button Hackers.' This song is called 'Night.' 

   I tried to research the group and their history, but nothing has surfaced on the web with respect to their biographies. There was one such icon, but it was written in Polish. I do not know Polish.  

   The genre of this song is definitely smooth jazz because there is a lot of modern elements such at electronic influences, pop, and subtle new age. Another name for this genre is called 'chill' jazz due to the ability of the mood it creates. 
   This piece is symmetrically constructed. It sounds like an ABACABA format. the A forms are not quite executed verbatum, but the chord progressions and the generality of the section was very similar with slight variations. The C section was the longest with a stretched out improvisation of the keyboard. 

   This song is actually not recent. Based on the multiple sites which archive this album, the release date was from the mid 2000's. This group is actually from Poland. This makes some sense why a Polish group would devote a section to France due to cultural ties from their history. Smooth jazz was popular around the 1990s until the 2000s. This was probably one of the last groups before the popularity descended.
