| QUOTE | It has been known for quite a long time that Zbigniew Namysłowski is interested in polish folk music of lowlands as well as highlands (from Podhale) and from the Balkan areas. His compositions, only to mention "Kuyaviak Goes Funky", "Siodmawka", "Piatawka", "Stray Sheep" are the first and sensational at that time pieces from the long series initiated in the '70 ies. Generally, they were creative interpretations in a folk idiom (scales, melodies, rhythmics) of his own themes. Now, in 1994, Namyslowski has merged the third system ideology with the aesthetics of ethnic jazz and the world music.
The music of a polish highlanders' band and the music of a jazz quartet represent two completely different traditions and cultures: american jazz and polish folk music. These two apparently separate worlds have been tied to each other by the shared ability of improvising in a group, the sensibility of the artist, their mutual respect and finally - Namyslowski's arrangement. Everybody offers the world all the best he has to offer.
The way the music is arranged enables us to listen to the highlanders' music and melodies "in crudo". It also gives us an opportunity to enjoy their jazz ver-sion. Their performances interweave but they never stand on each other's way. They rather dialogue with each other or they are each other's inspiration. The jazzmen don't pretend to be capable of playing folkmusic; the same applies to the highlanders playing jazz. All together, it makes an unbelievable effect.
Polish folk music is not a homogeneous phenomenon, that's why the music coming from the south of Poland is so different from any other highlanders' music, the musicians use lydian scale raised fourth step, which is typical for the mountainous, shepherds' areas of Podtatrze. The music is often based on dual metre, it is played with fiddles, the folk flute, the bagpipes, the basses. Melancholic melodies and rubato are typical for all the highland regions of the Tatra Mountains and the Carpathians (Now-Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Romania), there has never been anything like socage there and the wondering shepherds and fugitive peasants living in these parts are proud and savage. So is their music and so are the dances, all preserved in their primeval shape up till now. "Juhasi" is a song of young shepherds (juhas) every year driving their sheep to the grazing-grounds in the mountains. "Idzie Janko Lasem" (Johnny goes through the forest), "Co Sie Stalo, Boze" (what has happened, my God), "Krywniu, Krywaniu" (a call-song to the distant high Tatra peak), "Pod Jaworem" (under the greening sycamore tree), a song about a young shepherdess, "Zablakana Owieczka" (stray sheep)- pay attention to additive metre!
These are all melancholic melodies typical for southern regions of Poland (Carpathian regions) whose character was absorbed by the poush highlanders. "Zbojnicki" is a dance of highlanders' brigants, similar in its character to "Skarga Podhala" (Podhale complaint). "Po styry" (playing fours) reminds us of the old tradition carried on during the highlanders' festive occasions (like the parties given by the parents on the day of a child's baptism or the wedding parties).
The guests improvise for the occasion a four verses stanza, sang to a well known melody, the band accompanying in the background. How similar to the jazz practices this custom is!
Namyslowski, together with his younger talented col-leagues from the quartet, has once again inscribed him-self into the chain of polish contemporary composers inspired by folk music - as Lutoslawski, Kilar, Gorecki. (Roman Kowal - The Academy Of Music, Cracow) |
