Doug Carn, Jazz is Dead 5

Sorry to pick this random post, but I have seen these around and I wondered what they are.

A series that hasn't ever quite lived up to the promise. Younge and Ali Shaheed Mohammed choose a "legend" to collaborate with on each. They are worth a listen if you're open to a beat-focussed, Madlib influenced Jazz (some keepers of the Jazz flame might baulk at the J word).

I liked the Brian Jackson, Jeane Carn and Gary Bartz more than others. All streamable I think.

Thanks. I'm so so on that sort of thing although I like hip hop just fine, so may pass.

I like them but they tend to fade into the background after a while. Which is fine because there’s worse backgrounds to be had

Zbigniew Namysłowski – Winobranie (Polskie Nagrania Muza, 1973)

Currently listening to this one. Looking at the Discogs page (https://www.discogs.com/release/587981-Zbigniew-Namys%C5%82owski-Winobranie) the Recommended section is full of great looking stuff that I don't recognise, mainly in Polskie Nagrania Muza's Polish Jazz series. Does anyone know any of them? I don't know whether we have a dedicated page for the historic Polish jazz scene.

Just listening to the Doug Carn again, it's a lot better than I remembered.

I like that Namyslowski.

I have a few others from the series, Komeda's 'Astigmatic' is the rightfully regarded gem but these are very good too

Thanks!

Astigmatic and For K are the two I know most well. Clear classics. I'll sniff these others out.

A really good set.

One of the 1969 tracks with Norma Winstone is almost prototype ‘Azimuth’.

I saw Zbigniew N. and the Polish Modern Jazz Quartet in a Leeds pub/club in the late 60s. Leeds University Marxists turned out in force for these visitors from the other side of the Iron Curtain and actually booed when a number was announced "by the American pianist, Bill Evans".  My late pianist friend Paul Woodrow had a great "conversation" at the keyboard with the Polish pianist. Neither knew the other's language, but the names McCoy Tyner and Wynton Kelly flowed freely between them. Jazz knows no boundaries!
