3.5 stars. A perfect rating for me, it's in the middle of the pack of the Jazz and related albums I have heard since last
September which is a ton of music. "Hazard" is the third of four studio albums that this Jazz/Rock Fusion band from
Yugoslavia recorded and this is from 1980. Very interesting that the sole original member(keyboardist) basically hired
everyone from the band IZVER but their keyboardist of course to create this third album plus he added a sax player
who adds both tenor and soprano. I have that IZVER album from 1977 and would rate this one a half star better. One of the songs I really like is "Aleja" with those vocal melodies which will stop when the drums kick in. The guitar solos tastefully over top. More vocal expressions around 1 1/2 minutes but not for long then some nice guitar 4 minutes in.The vocals return late to end it. My favourite though is "Mislec Sveta" surprisingly because it's the only song with straight up vocals in their own language too but it's all good. He was good on that IZVER album too. I like the spacey synths and guitar as well. The title track would round out my top three. Mostly for the guitar after 4 minutes but we get sax and piano as well leading the way after a mellow start with the wind blowing. A nice album, very well done but not without issues for me which I won't pass on right now. Just my tastes.
