Zbigniew Namyslowski debuted in 1957 at the 2nd Jazz Festival in Sopot, as a cellist in The Modern Combo. He played trombone in two other well known formations: The Modern Dixielanders and The New Orleans Stompers. In the beginning of the 60's as a highly admired soprano and alto saxophonist, together with Michal Urbaniak playing tenor, Zbigniew set up his own group - the famous Jazz Rockers. At the same time, being a founder member of Andrzej Trzaskowski's The Wreckers he took part in a series of concerts in the United States - the first of its kind in the history of Polish jazz. The memorable Zbig-niew Namyslowski Quartet was the first Polish formation ever to make a record in the West ("Lola", Decca, London 1964). His alto saxophone is also heard on Krzysztof Komeda's LP "Astigmatic" (Muza, 1965). One month later, in January of 1966, he cut his own LP for the Polish Jazz series.
The times were odd. Sensations struck one after another. Today when cri-tically reviewing those records one confirms that the music of Komeda, Namyslowski, and Trzaskowski preserved its value urivalled. Only these musicians succeeded so early in reaching and maintaining the-top-of-the-world stan-dards. In 1966, Zbigniew Namyslowski when interviewed by "Jazz" magazine said: "...To be a success now, it is not enough to play somebody else's arran-gements copied from somebody else's records. This is why I've set up my own quartet. To play what I want and the Way I want".
It was not easy at that time to set yourself free from a direct imitation of the american formula. Namyslowski luckilly avoided the obsessively frequent fascination in Poland, with the music of Brubeck. He has not been caught in the web of the Third Stream, and has never totally proclaimed himself in favour of Free Jazz.
Talking about an attitude towards tradition, sound, pharsing and rhythmical discipline, Namyslowski remains "an american saxman". But his music is
deeply Polish - in ther positive, european meaning of the word. A modesty in expression, melodiousness and very often lyricism, determine ist unique beauty.
Namyslowski's musical output shows an amazing unity. The title of No. 1 Alto Saxophone Player in Europe; superlative opinions of the famous jazz critics and commentators such as J. E. Berendt, Willis Conover and Leonard Feather; extensive articles and entries in all serious jazz lexicons, the special respect and friendliness expressed by jazzman all around the world, even in the U.S.A. - all this speaks for itself. The specific self-restraint with which Namyslowski treated the consecutive stylistic innovations, found its counterweight in seaso-nal fascinations with blues, soul or fusion elements while preserving the jazz idiom. Namyslowski is extremely fond of "odd meters" consisting of odd and even meters (duple, triple, quadruple meters: 5/4, 7/4, 15/8). They are easy to trace in "Seven-Four-Bars", "Kujaviak Goes Funky" or "Apenzeller's Dance". Zbigniew adapts these rythmics innovations (having their origin in the music of Brubeck), as well as Polish folk melodic expressions and instrumentations, in an extremely natural way. Only his fellow-workers from the band realize how difficult his compositions are, with their irregular and asymmetric structures, tricky beats, with "a tempo" passages and fermatas. It is an open secret how demanding he is in executing his standard of realization. It is an amusing pecularity that Zbyszek willingly picks up south-american rhythms. Occasionally he writes some pieces for the Jazz Studio of the Polish Radio.
Zbigniew Namyslowski is easily recognizable by the first few sounds; and with his latest formations a. o. The Air Condition and The Q, he has written the best pages in the history of Polish Jazz. (Roman Kowal) |
