With haunting, traditional folk themes dripping off the piano
keys, hanging in the air like wafts of smoke, rising, curling
and dissipating, this collection speaks to the musical,
political and emotional history of Russia, as Jan Johansson
wraps these gorgeous melodies inside subtle and voluptuous
bass and stealthy drums. One is reminded of Prokofiev's
Lieutenant Kije Suite, a similar, fragile and dangerous
quality; only here, in "Jazz pσ Ryska," these themes, which
also venture into the lumbering, drunken and jolly, are
vividly set and explored through jazz instrumentation and
vocabulary. A stunning project from start to finish.
The original was recorded the 1st of September in 1967. Tracks
13-18 are bonus tracks. The CD contains a data track
containing A LOT more bonus material, as you will find out
when you buy the CD.

JAZZ P┼ RYSKA
Milstolparna Jazz pσ svenska och Jazz pσ ryska Σr de mest
sσlda skivorna i den svenska jazzhistorien.
Jan Johanssons sparsamma och oΣndligt vackra tolkningar av
folkmusik har blivit en del av den svenska folksjΣlen.
Nyutgσvans glasklara ljud g÷r nu Σven denna skiva rΣttvisa.
Skivan spelades in h÷sten 1967. Stundom Σr arrangemangen fulla
av finstΣmd humor och spΣnstig jazz. Men i mycket Σr det
precis som pσ Jazz pσ Svenska enkelt, djupt, gσtfullt, naket,
gripande.
Jan Johansson rycktes allt f÷r tidigt bort i en on÷dig
trafikolycka en kall h÷stmorgon 1968. Men musiken lever
vidare. Pσ denna skivan Σr det det slaviska vemodet, lΣngtan
och livskraften som kommer till uttryck.
