BLUE EFFECT & JAZZ Q PRAHA - Coniunctio (1970, Czechoslovakia, fusion of rock + jazz group, 320@)

The second album of Prague rock group Blue Effect is en atypical experiment. This album is a fusion of rock and jazz group (Jazz Q Praha), only instrumental. In the times of hopeless political situation (= early period of "normalisation") all things was changed after Soviet invasion to Czechoslovakia (1968). Songs with english lyrics was prohibited. Vocalist Vladimír Mišík, founder member of The Blue Effect left group after the first album and was replaced by Lešek Semelka keyboarder and later vocalist (in the next 70´s progrock period of The Blue Effect that changed name to Modrý Efekt and later M.Efekt). Mišík connect to Flamengo, excellent Prague rock group that later recorded eponymous album Kuře v hodinkách (1972) but it is an another story.
Coniunctio is an intersting album - but only experiment- that sounds in some moments like early Jethro Tull (with excellent flute player Jiří Stivín, like guest) and Mahavishnu Orchestra with free-jazz comrades...
