Jazz / Post Bop / Trumpet / Jazz Piano Trio

The material presented here was recorded in 1962 during the 5th Jazz Jamboree and features American trumpeter Don Ellis, accompanied by a Polish rhythm section consisting of pianist Wojciech Karolak, bassist Roman Dylag and drummer Andrzej Dabrowski. All the six tracks were recorded live during the Festival, the last of which is an extended suite composed by Polish pianist / composer Andrzej Trzaskowski presented as part of a concert dedicated to the Third Stream (early Jazz-Classical Fusion initiated by American composer Gunther Schuller in the late 1950s). On that track the quartet is accompanied by the Polish National Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra. Of the five shorter Jazz pieces, two are original compositions by Ellis and the remaining three are standards.

This new release from DUX presents two 19th-century symphonies of two Polish composers belonging to two different generations, so far almost unknown.

An exclusive anthology of tracks made from samples originally produced at the legendary Warsaw electronic music studio. Issued to subscribers with The Wire 436 June 2020.

Ignace Paderewski was a figure who would have been well known a century ago, to Polish audiences, American ones, and quite a few in between. The great virtuoso drew huge crowds in North America as a pianist and became the first prime minister of independent modern Poland. He might or might not have played the two early works for piano and orchestra recorded on this album, but they're all but forgotten today, and they shed light on the growth of this important and interesting figure from the age of late Romantic concert life.
