Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Jahrespreis 2007"The great Czech bassist was last heard conjuring up a hit album with John McLaughlin and Chick Corea on the first Universal Syncopations in 2003. Part two heads in a new direction, fusing snatches of orchestral and choral music to a small jazz ensemble that has Vitous's ever-inventive acoustic bass at its heart. The impressionistic music he creates - with strings and voices threading in and out of the mix - sometimes recalls early Weather Report. ... You'll hear few albums as strikingly original this year."
(The Times)
Universal Syncopations II by Czech bassist/composer Miroslav Vitous explores a wider range of options than its best-selling predecessor (released 2003), as choirs loom out of the mix and orchestral colours swirl around a shifting cast of modern jazz players which includes Randy Brecker on trumpet and Bob Mintzer, Bob Malach and Gary Campbell on saxophones. Miroslav's uniquely expressive double-bass drives the music forward and has a central role to play in the ensemble interaction.
