Miroslav Vitous: It Comes Down to Taste
by Paul Olson
You can't ask for a more interesting interview subject than Miroslav Vitous, but anyone in search of self-deprecation or false modesty would be best advised to seek elsewhere. Simply put, Miroslav Vitous believes in Miroslav Vitous; he believes--no, knows--that his work is important, and he will not waste a moment pretending otherwise.That's not terribly ...

Miroslav Vitous: Universal Syncopations II
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il titolo dato dal bassista Miroslav Vitous al suo ultimo lavoro, Universal Syncopations II, risulta decisamente fuorviante; non si tratta infatti di un seguito al disco del 2003, col quale non presenta nulla in comune se non gli studi di incisione (appunto, gli Universal Syncopations Studios). Pertanto, chi si aspettasse un'altra esaltante blowing sessions tra cinque ...

by Michael P. Gladstone
Bassist/composer Miroslav Vitous will likely be regarded in history as one of the founding members of Weather Report, staying with them until 1973.

He has recorded fourteen albums as ...

by Budd Kopman
At least one underlying context of the ECM label has been to present jazz where the line between improvisation and composition/arrangement is blurred. When the improvisations are not “jazzy" as the term is commonly understood, it begins to be difficult to discern where the composition ends and the improvisation begins. This is not ...
Miroslav Vitous: Universal Syncopations II
by Jerry D'Souza
Miroslav Vitous is the centrifugal force of Universal Syncopations II. He composed, arranged, directed, produced, engineered and archived the music, which was recorded between November 2004 and April 2005. Vitous uses different combinations to play his music. He moves from a trio to a quintet and, where necessary, has overdubbed orchestral parts or has multi-tracked vocals ...
Miroslav Vitous: Universal Syncopations II
by John Kelman
The integration of orchestration and improvisation can take many forms. In the case of woodwind multi-instrumentalist Tim Garland's The Mystery (Audio-b, 2007), it's about clearly delineated form, with soloists working within defined structures. For bassist Miroslav Vitous the process is more complex. Universal Syncopations II expands on the premise of Universal Syncopations (ECM, 2003), integrating real-time ...
