The Book of Job, crafted by the adventurous minds behind Super Grupa Bez Fałszywej Skromności, emerges as both a historical testament and an audacious musical ritual. Taking root in the fraught days surrounding Poland’s martial law, the album reinterprets the biblical saga of Job against a backdrop of political unrest and existential uncertainty. Renowned artists such as Milo Kurtis infuse the narrative with mysticism while Juliusz Berger’s lamentations weave a fabric of collective memory, powered by the spectral interventions of trumpeter Andrzej Przybielski and the dramatic phrasing of actor Ignacy Machowski. Each segment unfolds as a ceremonial tableau, from the whispered invocations of flautist Krzysztof Zgraja to the esoteric motifs of Mieczysław Litwiński’s sitar lines and the trance-inducing percussive patterns of Janusz Trzciński.

This project stands as more than a sonic experiment—it’s a meeting ground for jazz improvisation, avant-garde textures, and post-folk meditations. The group’s approach, blending plaintive Hebrew chants and surrealist spoken word with fragmented jazzrock and polyrhythmic funk, channels the ache and volatility of its time. The result is a raw yet meticulously constructed requiem, where personal anguish and collective resistance are bound in a single transformative breath.

Super Grupa Bez Fałszywej Skromności conjures not only the tribulations of the biblical Job but articulates a modern parable of endurance, drawing from spiritual jazz and experimental art as tools for reflection and resistance. This work, now witnessing its first vinyl edition decades after its legendary festival performance, belongs among the most daring artifacts of European avant-garde jazz—one that still pulses with urgency and hope for renewal.
