SBB (first known as Silesian Blues Band, later as Szukaj, Burz, Buduj – Polish for “Search, Destroy, Build”) is a Polish progressive rock band formed in 1971 in Siemianowice, Upper Silesia. It was made up of multi‑instrumentalist and vocalist Józef Skrzek, guitarist Apostolis Anthimos, drummer Jerzy Piotrowski, and sound engineer Grzegorz Maniecki. SBB was one of the most popular super‑groups in Poland and Europe in the 1970s. The band was one of the forerunners of progressive rock and jazz‑rock and attracted many influential jazz musicians, who often performed with the band. The trumpeter Andrzej Przybielski and the saxophonist and bass clarinetist Tomasz Szukalski developed a long‑lasting association with SBB. From 1971 until late 1973, SBB performed as Czesław Niemen’s backing band, Grupa Niemen. During this time, they performed at the Rock & Jazz Now! opening show for the Olympic Games in Munich, organized by Joachim‑Ernst Berendt and featuring Charles Mingus, John McLaughlin & the Mahavishnu Orchestra. SBB also toured accompanying Jack Bruce. Their collaboration with Niemen can be heard on five albums. In Munich, SBB recorded two LPs for CBS Records International, beginning a long‑lasting friendship and collaboration with producer Reinhold Mack. Reinhold’s son, Julian Mack, would later perform on SBB’s 2005 album New Century.
