Complete Recordings Of Krzysztof Komeda Vol 5 – Astigmatic Live

CD (Item 483161) Polonia Records (Poland), 1965 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
Great stuff from this legendary figure in Polish jazz! "Astigmatic" was one of Komeda's greatest compositions ever – an angular emotional workout that reminds us of the best late 50s work by Mingus, or of Jackie McLean's immediate pre-"new thing" sessions, like A Fickle Sonance. The track has a jaunty feel, with kind of a stop/start approach that moves inside and out, but always manages to swing at the right moments. Komeda and his group perform a 20 minute long live version of the track here – recorded at the Monmartre Jazz Club in Copenhagen – and they also play long versions of Komeda's "Kattorna" and "Svantetic", both excellent tracks as well. The group includes the legendary Tomasz Stanko on trumpet, Rune Carlsson on drums, and a young Michael Urbaniak on tenor. The contents are the same as on the other Power Brothers CD of live Astigmatic recordings from 1965 – but the packaging is different, and the CD does not have the enhanced CD rom of the other.  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

True Blue
Atlantic (Japan), 1964. Used
A cool cooker from altoist Hank Crawford – cut in a tightly-grooving ensemble mode that really reflects his roots with Ray Charles! The tunes are mostly short, but have a great sense of personality – a vibrant approach that comes not just from Hank's lead solos, but also from the group ... CD
Times Square, 2008. Used 2 CDs
A gimmicky record, but one that's pretty darn great – thanks to a very unusual approach that mixes the music of Miles Davis with Indian instrumentation! The players are a big part of the album's success – as they include Miles Davis alums like Gary Bartz on alto sax, Lenny White and ... CD

A tremendous pairing of guitarists – both musicians who first helped change the sound of the instrument in jazz during the 70s, and who somehow come together here at a level that not only brings out the best in both, but also seems to evolve the music too!

A sweet little pairing of the keyboards of Sergio Mendes and the early arranging styles of Dave Grusin – and a set that's quite different than some of Sergio's vocal albums with Brasil 66! The style here is all instrumental – and Mendes plays both piano and electric piano, plus a bit ... CD
