We have been waiting long for this album. Namyslowski's previous LPs,
the internationally-successful "Lola" (Decca SKL 4644) and "Polish
Jazz Vol. 6" (Muza XL 0305) were both released in 1965. Since that
time Namyslowski, for long one of the most creative jazz artists on
the Polish scene, has made considerable progress in his development.
This record proves it well enough, featuring Namyslowski playing his
new compositions. The supporting group are actually co-makers of the
music. Despite their youth, they belong to the top Polish jazzmen.
Wine Feast, a short piece based on a simple, catchy tune in 7/8, is
linked with the next track. No Dough, No Kicks, featuring solos by
the leader on alto, Jarzebski on bass and Jonkisz on drums. There is
an amusing contrast between the slow, "free" part of the piece,
performed by the bowed cello-bass duo and the reprise of the theme,
sung in Polish musicians slang.
The influence of the folk music of both his own and other countries
is another feature of Namyslowski's music. It is evident on this
record: while in Wine Feast we hear echos of the Polish "kujawiak",
Gogoszary, played in 11/8, includes some elements of Balkan folklore.
The latter features a fine cello solo by the leader, with innovative
use of on amplifier with wah-wah and fuzz effects, which results in a
guitar-like sound. Not Less Than Five Per Cent consists of two
different parts. The first is of 12/8 and 13/8 alternately, the
second is a tuneful ballad.
Side two begins with an extensive piece, composed of several parts
which include the same theme but treated differently each time. The
three different parts, changing smoothly one into another, are First
Take. Ballad on the Roost and Teddy Bears. The piece culminates in an
extended alto solo by Namyslowski. It starts off with a festive-mood
ballad and develops dynamically, changing the original climate and
turning almost free, but keeping the timing and harmony, which
gradually condenses.
Taj Mahal deserves special mention as the group's successful attempt
to achieve the sound of Indian music. It is interesting to note how
the original Hindu instruments are replaced by their European
counterparts. The sitar part is played by a prepared piano, the bass
takes on the role of tampura and the piccicato cello serves as the
melodic solo instrument. The drummer plays an original tabla drum,
and the trombonist adds to the rhythm by playing assorted percussion.
After hearing this piece on stage during Jazz Jamboree 1972. the jazz
expert Willis Conover said it was the most perfect imitation of Hindu
music he had ever heard. And the group's whole performance of the
music featured on this record was the strongest experience he had
during the whole festival.
This album guarantees a similar experience for anyone who enjoys good
music.
