Universal Syncopations II is an album by Czech bassist Miroslav Vitouš recorded between November 2004–April 2005 and released June 15, 2007 on ECM.




Reception


The AllMusic review by Alex Henderson states, "The interesting thing is that while Universal Syncopations 2 stresses ensemble playing and team work, parts of the album are quite free; this disc offers an inside/outside perspective, sometimes moving into mildly avant-garde territory but never favoring outright chaos. A quintessentially ECM aesthetic is very much at work on this solid effort, which will be enthusiastically welcomed by those who complain that Vitouš hasn't recorded often enough as a leader."
