Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski, Wojciech Karolak - Mainstream (1974) [Reissue 2007] (Repost) Music

Posted by gribovar at June 24, 2020

Recorded 31 May, 24 October 1973 in Polish Radio, Warsaw.
Although not as well-known in the West as his countrymen Adam Makowicz, Tomasz Stanko, and Michal Urbaniak, Wróblewski has been one of the dominant figures in Polish jazz since the late '60s. Wróblewski played clarinet, tenor sax, and piano while studying agriculture at a Polish technical college; his first professional experience was with Krzysztof Komeda in 1956. Beginning in 1958, he studied at the Higher School of Music in Krakow. That year, he was chosen by George Wein and Marshall Brown to play in the International Youth Band, which performed at the Brussels World's Fair and the Newport Jazz Festival…

EABS - 2061 (2022)
EAC Rip | FLAC (tracks+log+.cue) - 273 Mb | MP3 CBR 320 kbps - 98 Mb | 00:42:39
Contemporary Jazz, Fusion, Hip-Hop | Label: Astigmatic Records

If one was to interpret the whole output of EABS in general, an inquisitive listener would notice that each subsequent album stems from the previous one. The overtones are similar and they can be treated as variations on the same theme. The only thing that changes is the background of the story. It is all about life and death, the beginning and the end of the world, and the role of human beings entangled in all this existentially. Following the futurism lessons from Sun Ra, the band travels to the year 2061, continuing their mission in space in the company of a living legend, Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski.

WEB FLAC (Tracks) 363 MB | Cover | 53:42
Polish Jazz | Label: Universal Music Polska

Debiut płytowy to złożona materia. Autorski album jest przedstawieniem się publiczności, a jak wiemy, pierwsze wrażenie można zrobić tylko raz. Niektórym, mimo braku doświadczenia, udaje się zachwycić słuchaczy i krytyków, inni często wpadają w którąś z wielu pułapek, choćby udziwnionych kompozycji czy niekończących się fajerwerków strzelających z instrumentu lidera wprost do ucha odbiorcy. Młodzi artyści mają poczucie, że wraz z wejściem na rynek fonograficzny mają niepowtarzalną okazję, aby udowodnić swoją techniczną biegłość. Dawid Lubowicz niczego nikomu udowadniać nie musi. Rozpoczyna płytową karierę w charakterze lidera, ale ciężko nazwać go przecież debiutantem. Nawet ci, którzy śledzą polską scenę jazzową od niechcenia, powinni doskonale zdawać sobie sprawę z talentu i dotychczasowych dokonań skrzypka.

It is an open secret that when recording an album, a producer often "thinks about the future" and uses the studio session to record much more material than what is strictly necessary for one album. This was also the case with the recording of "Saxesful", the 2018 album of the Polish trumpeter, composer, leader, publisher and record producer Piotr Schmidt. After a break related to the coronavirus pandemic, and after the recent death of his father, Polish jazz icon, Professor Andrzej Schmidt, whom I had the honor of meeting more than once, Piotr returned to the unreleased recordings of the "Saxesful" session and released a continuation of this album, partly in tribute to memory his father.
