  • Jazz in Poland. Improvised Freedom | Pol-Int
    Pol-Int MONOGRAPHIE Jazz in Poland. Improvised Freedom Beitrag vom: 16.03.2016 Rezension von Dr. Lisa Jakelski Redaktionell betreut von Dorothea Traupe Poland in the 1950s and 1960s boasted a jazz scene of remarkable vibrancy. State-sponsored festivals in Sopot and Warsaw gave audiences the chance to hear jazz performers from all over the world. Local groups crafted their own sound, releasing seminal recordings such as the Krzysztof Komeda Quintet's Astigmatic (1966). The sounds of jazz permeated the films of Andrzej Wajda and Roman Polański. An important part of Poland's cultural and social history during the post-Stalin Thaw, jazz remains a lively element in the country's contemporary musical life. Igor Pietraszewski's Jazz in Poland: Improvised Freedom investigates Polish jazz as both a historical and present- day phenomenon. The second in the Jazz Under State Socialism Series edited by Gertrud Pickhan and Rüdiger Ritter, this book is part of an ongoing effort to understand the significance of jazz in the cultures and societies of East-Central Europe. Pietraszewski is ideally placed to carry out such a study. His experiences as a jazz saxophonist and board member of the Jazz on the Odra Festival in Wrocław give him an insider's insight into the musical world he describes. His training as a sociologist, on the other hand, enables him to approach his subject with an outsider's detachment. Pietraszewski draws on survey responses, interviews, print and other media sources, and scholarship by sociologists and cultural historians in an analysis that proceeds systematically from theory to data.

  • Jazz: a Celebration of Freedom
    Two Freedoms, Two Independences 61 Megan Roy Will Jazz: A Celebration of Freedom Introduction Jazz has long been a symbol of freedom in the United States. Born out of racial strife and ethnic tension, this art form provided an escape and opportunity for those living in a post-Civil War America. Developed around the turn of the 20th century in New Orleans, jazz gained popularity and began to change, adjusting to the current cultural climate while maintaining its meaning of freedom and personal independence. A message like this could not be contained, and soon spread around the globe across radio airwaves and by means of traveling musicians. Many nations welcomed this music that bore the mark of freedom, but few embraced it as exuber- antly as Poland. After the fallout from the Second World War, the Polish nation was thrown into the dark ages of communism. It was during this time that jazz was clung to as a symbol of freedom, and a means of individual expression. Adopted and fostered by Polish musicians, jazz began to take on new and different sounds, eventually leading to the invention of a uniquely Polish style. The purpose of this article is to investigate why jazz stands as a symbol of freedom in both the American and Polish cultures, and how the ideas of freedom and independence are expressed through this music in each country. Historical and Cultural Context Jazz is considered a truly American invention, one that emerged in the late nine- teenth century largely due to the mixing of various peoples and the tension that resulted from the American Civil War.

  • 'Helikon' Was Also a Favourite of Zbyszek Seifert's. Both His Quartet
    man of the light. THE LIFE AND WORK OF ZBIGNIEW SEIFERT The ‘Helikon’ was also a favourite of Zbyszek Seifert’s. Both his quartet and (later) Stańko’s quintet held their rehearsals there, and that’s where he played his first jazz concerts. It was in this club that he met jazz musicians and fans. As its musicians became more and more popular, the Jazz-Club found it could not seat all the audience and so concerts began to be held in other places. Nonetheless, the first steps on the ensemble’s career path were inextricably linked with that magical place. Jazz-Club “Helikon”. From left: barmaid, NN, Jan Jarczyk, Zbigniew Seifert, Jan Gonciarczyk, Adam Matyszkowicz. Archive of Małgorzata Seifert Jazz-Club “Helikon” membership card. Archive of Małgorzata Seifert 36 The music studies and Jazz Ensembles The Career of the Zbigniew Seifert Quartet The Quartet’s official debut took place in November, 1965, during the th14 Cracow Jazz Festival, the so-called Cracow All Souls Jazz Festival at Krzysztofory, where the jam sessions were held. Andrzej Jaroszewski enthusiastically hailed their performance as foreshadowing the coming of a new generation of jazz musicians, the debut of a modern jazz band. In a brochure entitled “Cracow Jazz Festival – 14th Edition”, Krzysztof Sadowski wrote: On Friday evening the second debutant was Zbigniew Seifert, an alto sax player influenced by John Coltrane and Zbigniew Namysłowski. From the latter, he took the pure intonation and confident presentation of frequently complicated melodic phrases. Especially in the theme of McCoy Tyner’s “Three Flowers” the whole ensemble gave us a sample of solid modern jazz.

  • Birth of the Cool
    Mateusz Smoczynski, Violin David Balakrishnan, Violin, Baritone Violin Benjamin von Gutzeit, Viola Mark Summer, Cello Birth of the Cool Reaching for lyricism and gentler textures as a reaction to the fiery sounds of bebop, the renowned musicians who performed on the seminal recording, Birth of the Cool, consider it a tipping point towards the style that became known as “Cool Jazz.” The living embodiment of cool, Miles Davis, and his colleagues, Gil Evans, Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz, etc., set the table for a slew of legendary groups that shared their vision. From the Modern Jazz Quartet and Gunther Schuller of third stream music, to the west coast sounds of the Dave Brubeck Quartet with Paul Desmond, to the iconoclastic melodic lines of pianist Lennie Tristano, their particular brand of innovative genius echoed into the myriad jazz fusion blends of the seventies and eighties. Ultimately, this created the perfect conditions for an audacious group of four string players equally grounded in jazz improvisation and classical technique, to split the Eurocentric string quartet atom. In addition to employing their signature groove-based rhythmic techniques to transform classic selections from the recording of Birth of the Cool such as Israel, Venus De Milo, and Jeru into jazz string quartet masterpieces, the two time GRAMMY® winning Turtle Island Quartet will take a wide swath through the many other avenues traversed by these intrepid explorers of cool. Perennial favorites such as Dave Brubeck’s Blue Rondo A La Turk and Gerry Mulligan’s Bernie’s Tune conjoin with Miles Davis’s dreamy Miles Ahead, and the Modern Jazz Quartet’s darker Django.

Hindustani classical music is based entirely around melodic interaction with rhythm. Each raag provides a specific set of notes and rules for how they may be used. By following the given rules a performer, or in this case a composer, may create an original piece while still preserving the mood of the raag. Raag Jaunpuri conveys a contemplative mood, and is meant to be performed in the late morning hours.
