CPR ELECTRIO

The eponymous album by CPR Electrio marks the symbolic return to the Czech Republic of two jazz “emigrants” living in New York City: the organist Ondrej Pivec and the saxophonist Karel Ružicka, Jr. The band’s third member is the “domestic” drummer Russell Carter. CPR Electrio perform groovy music blending dance influences, R&B, and funk. Although the musicians have found scope for solo improvisations, the album is above all a joint demonstration of their immense energy and sheer joy of playing.
