Polish J***?
Posted by: droodzilla on 31 May 2008
An obscure request, I know, but any recommendations?
There's Tomasz Stanko, of course, and the Marcin Wasileski Trio - both covered by ECM. But I suspect Poland has a thriving jazz scene, much of which is not visible from the UK (or elsewhwere).
I ask this, having been mightily impressed by the Polish musicians on the new Bennie Maupin CD - especially pianist, Michal Tokaj.
Other European jazz is relatively easy to (begin to) track down - France has label Bleu, Germany has ACT/ECM, Italy has CamJazz, but I don't know of a Polish equivalent.
Any ideas?
