Zimna Kąpiel
The history of music largely consists of the word "if." For if Boguslaw "Dizzy" Rudzinski had not emigrated to Sweden in the mid-1960s, the history of Polish jazz might have looked very different. And the songs that appear on the album "Cold Bath" more than half a century after recording - could successfully fill one of the volumes of the "Polish Jazz" series.
Boguslaw Rudzinski, despite his great activity on the music scene of the late 1950s and early 1960s, quickly fell into oblivion after emi…
Optima Fide (1968-70 • More Belgian Scores - Third Stream Tales)
The Belgian jazz orchestra run by BRT radio was one of Europe's most interesting workshops, allowing composers to experiment at will with the sound or structure of works. Jerzy Milian exploited the possibilities of this composition to its absolute limits, and "Optima Fide," the eleventh installment in the "Jerzy Milian Tapes" series, chronicles this turbulent period in his career. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Milian regularly wrote large forms bordering on jazz and avant-garde for Belgian radio. …

Did It Again
