Václav Zahradník A Hosté Jazzového
Festivalu Praha 1970 - Interjazz
Supraphon – 1 15 0999 (Czechoslovakia - 1971)
Fellow blogger Quimsy
posted a link to this album in the comments of Interjazz-6. I think the quality of the music is such that it deserves a full post (and Quimsy
deserves a big thank!).
Not seen often in the blogsphere, if ever!

Fantastic music!
Some of the most innovative European Jazz in the Seventies come from Eastern Europe ... and it took me half a century to discover it.
Thanks to all the fellow bloggers who introduced me to "Iron Curtain Jazz" (with a special mention to Quimsy and the Growing Bin team).

Yes, great music indeed. FYI, in France [maybe not elsewhere] all tracks except Jaumeau are currently streamable on Spotify.
ReplyDeleteJust found one cut from it upon on Youtube, and you are so correct: this is innovative, hot, and beautifully arranged big band jazz. Thanks for providing it! Downloading now. I had no idea this kind of thing was actually being performed, much less recorded, in Communist Czechoslovakia. Which isn't to cast stereotypes; it's just that the powers that be frowned on jazz.
