The 1970s, the third decade of Jan 'Ptaszyn' Wroblewski's career, he truly became an indispensable ingredient in the many flavors being created in Polish Jazz. Wroblewski was already an accomplished tenor and baritone player in a variety of bands, leading his own small groups with straight-ahead inclinations and a love of Horace Silver phrasing. But the accomplishments of his small bands have become obscured by his much closer association with free jazz inclined 'Studio Jazzowe Polskiego Radia' - part venue for free expression by virtuosos and soloists and part workshop for musicians and composers.
What might have been initially a joke, or the result of the willful consumption of too much liquid distillated from Polish potatoes, another forum for Wroblewski's expression in the 1970s was S.P.T.T. - Stowarzyszenie Popierania Prawdziwej Tworczosci (the Association for Advancement of Real Art) or Chalturnik. "Chalturnik" in Polish means somebody who does not perform its work well, but in contrary - very bad and without to much caring about it. One could describe the music of Chalturnik as a mix of bar mitzvah / weeding band sounds, 1920s happy jazz, and Art Ensemble of Chicago mambo-jumbo philosophy, all filled with clichéd Peruvian street group repertoire and as weird as Burt Bacharach's psychedelic soundtrack to 1967 James Bond flick "Casino Royal".
Chalturnik was natural extension for Wroblewski's Jazz Studio experiments. However, the band had a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere and used musical persiflage or banter. Nevertheless, the premise remained the same: to experiment, to confront taboos, to challenge judgments and to take new unorthodox approaches to attitudes never before questioned - but with much more distance and humor. The lineup of Chalturnik included some of the brightest stars from Polish Jazz constellation of 1970s like Z. Namyslowski, J. Muniak, and T. Szukalski as well as other musicians not normally associated with Polish jazz, among them tuba player Z. Piernik, famous for his interpretation of Krzysztof Penderecki's music. (chazzforjazz.com)

A weird little group led by Polish saxophonist Jan Ptasyn Wroblewski -- easily one of his strangest projects of the time! The style here has some of the groovier traces of Jan's other 70s albums -- but it's also oddly nostalgic too -- kind of an ironic take on jazz modes of the 20s, with a sound like similar projects from the US and UK in the late 60s. Other players include Zbigniew Namyslowski and Janusz Muniak on saxes -- who both really add a choppy, staccato feel to the set by vamping along with the rhythms on the tracks. Titles include "Cockneyem", "What's New Pussycat", "Music For K", "Malgoska", "Blizej Wiosny", "El Condor Pasa", and "Lampasiasty". © Dusty Groove America, Inc.
