Jazz in the former communist countries like Poland, CSSR and GDR?
Unbelievable, you would think. And yes, there has been and still is a
very vivid jazz scene which had to fight for its survival and
acknowledgement. Nowadays, after the fall of the Iron Curtain,
and the Eastern European jazz scene having been integrated in the
worldwide jazz community, only a few of us think back to the days
of repression when jazz was seen congruent with imperialistic and thus
decadent music.
The CD now released by Crippled Dick Hot Wax reminds us those times and
at the same time shows us the variety and superb quality of East European
jazz artists. Among those you will find two Polish and one Czech jazz organ players who
are to be found on the IAJO site as well.
Have much fun with this CD!
