[Machine Translation] Led by Dasko Gojkovi , who has Balkan roots, this truly multinational "International Quintet" lives up to its name. The title, *As Simple As It Is*, is a paradox as can be heard in the classic Madison Walk," the music is far from simple; rather, it embodies the sounds of multiple cultures honed to their absolute limit. Here, Balkan heritage, European intellect, and American jazz converge at a single point, tracing the path by which jazz transcends boundaries and returns to its roots. Includes obi strip and new liner notes. Recorded: January 23, 1970, Germany / Original release date: 1971
