jack014m A fantastic album; just jazzy enough to make you move; novel enough to keep you listening. Great for dinner parties, one imagines. Favorite track: Acht und Dreizig.

about

Jerzy Milian Tapes 01

15 rare and unpublished tracks from one of Poland’s seminal jazz musicians. Upbeat grooves, dreamy bossa novas plus some fine easy listening tunes. Fiery trumpets, sweet saxophones and witty vibraphone solos – all this and more encompassed in fifteen short musical forms recorded with Günther Gollasch’s big band throughout the 1970s.

The signature sound of Jerzy Milian’s vibraphone (heard most notably in the recordings of Krzysztof Komeda and Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski) has managed to grasp the attention of jazz devotees all over the globe for nearly half a century. Yet Milian is also an esteemed composer and an arranger of skill and imagination whose talent and ingenuity were recognised by many, including the Jazzanova collective. While the artist’s solo discography was rather scant, all of his releases are much sought for (and even more paid for!). The „Jerzy Milian Tapes” series features a profusion of lost and unreleased recordings, all retaining a strong flavour of many different shades of jazz. And yes, it was all written by the man alone!

Jerzy Milian Tapes 01

15 rzadkich i niepublikowanych nagrań z archiwum jednego z najciekawszych polskich muzyków jazzowych. Dynamiczne, przebojowe utwory, senne bossa novy i cukierkowe easy listening. Mocny beat, zadziorne brzmienie trąbek, słodkie saksofony i błyskotliwe solówki na wibrafonie zamknięto w piętnastu krótkich formach, zarejestrowanych z berlińskim big-bandem Guntera Gollascha w latach 70.

Charakterystyczne brzmienie wibrafonu Jerzego Miliana (grał z Krzysztofem Komedą i Janem Ptaszynem Wróblewskim) od pół wieku poraża fanów jazzu na całym świecie. To także ceniony kompozytor i aranżer o dużej wyobraźni, którą docenił kolektyw Jazzanova. Nie wydał wielu płyt, ale wszystkie osiągają teraz zawrotne ceny. My uzupełniamy dyskografię Miliana o nieznane dotąd nagrania. Pod szyldem „Milian Tapes” ukazuje się bardzo różnorodny jazz. Trudno chwilami uwierzyć, że to wszystko napisał tylko jeden kompozytor…
