Biography of Pinski Zoo

PINSKI ZOO's latest DOUBLE CD - "AFTER IMAGE", brings you OVER 2 HOURS of live recordings from 2003 -2005
PINSKI ZOO -The true UK originals of free funk or power fusion…..call it what you like this cult-like band are almost impossible to categorize - they swing from virtuosic jazz to gritty funk with freedom and movement, veering into leftfield territory and snap back into grand melody without blinking. A highly potent and controversial force on the late 80’s /90’s UK jazz scene with a unique fusion sound, they foreshadowed later styles, and were linked with harmolodic outfits, such as Ornette Coleman’s Prime Time.
.Led by Jan Kopinski - they recorded and toured extensively throughout the UK, Europe Poland and NYC and were regulars in the early days of London’s Jazz Café, and playing right at the heart of the New York scene in the 90’s at the Knitting Factory. A unique sound, combining the edgy British grittiness of the street with darker evocations of Eastern Europe.
