All Stars After Hours - Night Jam Session In Warsaw [Polish Jazz 37]

It was already after midnight when a concert of the Jazz Jamboree was coming to its end in the huge Congress Hall in Warsaw. Part of the audience had already left the hall, but, at the same time, there appeared on the platform a group of Polish jazzmen who began to install new instruments. In the left corner they placed, facing each other, two Hammonds of K. Sadowski and W. Karolak. Marek Karewicz lost no time in taking snapshots of the group. The drum sets of Bartkowski and J. Stefanski were placed in the middle, while the tuner was ending his work at the piano... The amazed audience stopped and turned towards the platform... the ushers, having been told that the concert was to be continued, did not intervene, and there was in the hall a tense atmosphere of expectation. Andrzej Karpinski, the sponsor of the "Polish Jazz record series and the main initiator of the venture, was engaged in a nervous talk with Ptaszyn Wroblewski whom he was trying to persuade to take over the direction of a recording session which having the features of a jam session would fix the music of leading Polish jazzmen on a recording that would be spontaneous and unique in the history of jazz in Poland. The program was to be kept in the style of the mainstream and the themes were chosen accordingly. The first of them, Neskim Blues, dated back from the time of the Jazz Rockers. It was in those days that Namyslowski, influenced by the celebrated "Blue Train" by John Coltrane, created the easiest blues for Polish musicians, since it was based on a short tune of a few notes — traditionally a call to work for the musicians. The second of the chosen themes was M. Davis's So What, which is still being played at almost all jam sessions. The recording went better than might have been expected, the only inconvenience being the nervous atmosphere which was caused by the great number of musicians and the limited duration of the disc. In spite of the traditional character of the music, electronics was applied in it too: Z. Namyslowski was playing a saxophone plugged to an amplifier, Pawel Jarz^bski and Zbigniew Seifert played their instruments by means of pick-ups, while K. Sadowski was using a Ring Modulator in the solo part of So What. The recording session ended at about 4 a.m. on October 27, 1973, in the presence of numerous jazzfans. And it is to them and to other listeners of the disc that we extend our wish: may jazz bring you a lot of joy in life.
