He begins with the piano, at 13 he takes up the cello. At high school he spends some time studying the theory of music. But since his beginnings, jazz has been in the focus of his interests. He acquires another instrument - the trombone; with this he gets into his first jazz band. The end of the fifties stands under the sign of trad jazz; this spreads into 1961. At 21, he introduces himself to the jazz audience at the 2nd Sopot Jazz Test. He's atracted by other instruments; he tries out the bass, guitar, trumpet, and occasionally also the alto sax.
During 1961 he quits the trad scene and plays with his first modern group "The Jazz Rockers" founded 1960. Two years later he performs for the first time in the U.S.A. with the Polish hard bop group The Wreckers Since this time he acquires a name in European jazz clubs and festivals. In 1963 his new Quartet is the sensation of the Warsaw Jazz Jamboree The decade of his first two quartets follows. 1972-1975 the quartet is changed to a quintet which records two of the most important LPs of European jazz: Winobranie and Kujaviak Goes Funky. This group is the playground of Polish top jazzmen of that time the horn blowers Cieślak and Szukalski, drummers Jonkisz and Bartkowski, the piano player Karolak, the bassist Jarzebski. The name of the Polish jazzman Namyslowski becomes the property of the jazz world. He'd played with Daniel Humair or Ted Curson, in Warsaw he shocked the Americans at a jam session with Blood, Sweat & Tears He does not stear clear of a collaboration with the rock vocalist Niemen, he plays with the vocal quartet Novi. The second half of the seventies is filled by his third quartet, the eighties by his group Air Condition. According to Readers' Poll of Jazz Forum, Journal of the International Jazz Federation, for two decades he's presiding over the category of European alto saxophonists. He's threatened only on the verge between the seventies and eighties by a six years Younger Jiri Stivin. In the first half of the eighties, he is a member of Czech Polish Leaders' Big Band which recorded for the Interjazz Series of Supraphon.
Where do you want to pigeon-hole Namyslowski? He'd been through trad jazz, he passed through bebop and free jazz and rock fusion vibes, he's been always close to the ethnic influences, no matter whether they came from India or from the Balkan But his music gained the ground especially in the seventies when he began to emanate the elements of Polish music mentality, the art of singing and dancing a tune, the mood of a doomed melancholy. He used to be one of those avantguardists who turned to solid mainstreamers. But above all; you can see him as a post-modernist and creator of a new style which is not based on destruction or negation of what had preceded, but aims at a great new synthesis, which is the landmark of the art of our century.
The piano (originally organ) player Janusz Skowron gained his experiences with top Polish jazzmen including Tomasz Stanko. As a performer and composer, he was one of the pillars of the first era of the String Connection of the violin player Krzesimir Debski. The bassist Zbigniew Wegehaupt is not only a partner of the Polish top jazzmen - even the Czech guitar player Rudolf Dasek asked him to cooperate on his 1984 LP Interlanding with Andrew Cyrille. The drummer Cezary Konrad will obviously continue in the line of Polish quality drummers. (Vladimir Kouril)
Czech-Polish Jazz Relations
In the culturally lamentable period from 1970 to 1989, when entire genres struggled on the sidelines of the official sets or directly underground, contact with Polish jazz was the most viable way to access developments in this important twentieth century musical manifestation. Polish jazz musicians took part regularly in our local and main jazz events, including the international festivals in Prague and in Prerov. In the Polish Cultural Centre (now Polish Institute) in Prague, one could obtain LPs of Polish production or buy the bi-monthly Jazz Forum. Trips were organized en masse to the Jazz Jamboree in Warsaw. Still missing at the time, though, were close artistic ties between Czech and Polish musicians. At first, Polish jazz musicians appeared only scantily in the INTERJAZZ series of LPs, which were the inspiration of the guest musicians at the International Jazz Festival in Prague. Trombonist Andrzej Brzeski and drummer Andrzej Dabrowski also played on Vaclav Zahradnik's first big band album from 1970. Two years later, Zbigniew Seifert took part in Jiri Stivin's international free-jazz project PET RAN DO CEPICE. In 1976, in a jazz concert on Czechoslovak radio broadcasting, conducted by guest Jan "Ptaszyn" Wroblewski, soprano saxophonist Tomasz Szukalski and trumpet player Tomasz Stanko appeared as soloists. In fact, in
1977, Polish musicians were recording in Czech studios. The solo album of pianist Adam Makowicz ZIMNI KVETY/KWIATY ZIMOWE and of the jazz-rock trio SBB were recorded and released. And contrabassist Zbigniew Wegehaupt, long-time member of Namyslowski's quartet, played on guitar star Rudolf Dasek's album MEZIPRISTANI/INTERLANDING.
The most significant joint project to date was the THE POLISH-CZECH/CESKO-POLSKY BIG BAND (1985), which was the brainchild of producer Petr Pylypov, who presented it to the then chairman of the Polish Jazz Association Tomasz Tluczkiewicz at the end of his visit to Prague. The task of conducting was allotted to Czech pianist and bandleader Milan Svoboda; the musicians from the Polish side were trumpet players Adam Kawonczyk and Henryk Majewski, saxophonists Tomasz Szukalski and Jan "Ptaszyn" Wroblewski, guitarist Jaroslaw Smietana, and drummer Jacek Pelc.
Other similar joint ventures did not come about until the new century, when leading Czech bassist and pedagogue Jaromir Honzak invited Polish saxophonist Piotr Baron and pianist Kuba Stankiewicz to join his band. In time, Michal Tokaj took the latter's place. Lukasz Zyta, who also involved in the debut album of young guitarist Libor Smoldas, took his place as drummer in Honzak's band. This Polish rhythm band also worked with another great contemporary Czech guitarist: David Doruzka. And in 2002, pianist SBB Jozef Skrzek played in bass guitarist Pavel Jakub Ryba's band M.T.S. Art Ensemble.
Namyslowski in the new century
At the end of the 1980s, Zbigniew Namyslowski was as an artist who in terms of originality belonged to the most important European Jazz celebrities of the past quarter century. He has had no reason to change his style, which is based on the legacy of hard bop and reminiscent of jazz rock, the folk music of the Tatra Mountains, and even European classical music. This is demonstrated also by this re-edition of the album WITHOUT A TALK. This album grew symbolically out of the first jazz publishing company that was established in post-communist Czechoslovakia. The album is a first in two other ways: it became the first recording of Namyslowski's band after the fall of the Iron Curtain and the first of his recordings on CD. Zbigniew Namyslowski, as touched upon, is the author of many themes inspired by Polish folk music. Who of his admirers does not know compositions such as Piatawka, Siodmawka, Zablakana Owiecka, 1.2.3.4..., W to Mi Graj, and Bop-Berek? He belongs to those jazz musicians who managed to write melodically distinct themes, such as Der Schmalz Tango, Jasmin Lady, Double Trouble Blues, Western Ballad, Quiet Afternoon, and Sprzedaj mnie Wiatrowi. In the 1990s, he started working with folk ensembles. In 1996, he recorded the album NAMYSLOWSKI QUARTET & ZAKOPANE HIGHLANDERS BAND. A year later, he appeared at the Prague festival Jazz Meets World with Jan Karpiel Bulecka's Goral (Polish Highlander) band. In 2006, after a three-year hiatus, the last, for now, recording of his quartet ASSYMETRY was made. At the Jazz Jamboree 2007 festival in Warsaw, he celebrated a half century on the jazz scene.

A current edition of this album is released on the occasion of the concert of Zbigniew Namyslowsk's Quintet on 13 December 2007 in the Ball Game Hall of Prague Castle as part of the concert series entitled Jazz na Hrade (Jazz at the Castle). |
