Jazz Alchemist Radio 15.10 with Jelly Roll Morton, Andrew Drury and others

First program of the season will start with a stomp as we celebrate the anniversary of Jelly Roll Morton (20th. October 1890) - the self-procclaimed creator of jazz music. 

Aside from that I'd like to present to you excerpts from the "A Momentary Lapse" by Andrew Drury - a striking set of modern jazz, brilliantly composed and performed. 

Two of the "Six Philosphical Games" by Olbrzym i Kurdupel serve also as an invitation to the Gadecki/Mazur/Murray concert - this Sunday at Literki.

As well as two pieces from the recent "Hellstorm" release by Mathka - a Martin Kuchen's solo album to remind you about his concert this Wednesday and subsequent evening with his quintet All Included (both at Alchemia, more info about the concerts in the Krakow Autumn Jazz Program).

Hope you'll like it

Olbrzym i Kurdupel - Six Philosophical Games [Electric Eye]

Olbrzym i Kurdupel:
Tomek Gadecki - tenor saxophone
Marcin Bozek - bass guitar



Electric Eye Records 2012

The story is: the two musicians met at a jam session in polish Tri-City and there was supposed to be also a drummer on stage, but he didn't show up and the pair started playing and they continue to do so, a duo - Olbrzym ("giant") and Kurdupel ("shorty") is another example that polish jazz scene is well. "Six Philosphical Games" is their first longplaying cd (the EP "frrrr..." was released in 2009).
