The fifth edition of
the CZ Jazz Festival, held in
Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) in 1988, included as part of its program an International Jazz Composers Workshop
for which the organizers of the event had commissioned six renowned composers
to submit scores. The individual entries
were rehearsed by the Prague Television
Jazz Orchestra directed by Vaclav
Zahradnik and a majority of them were performed in public at a Festival
concert on March 26, 1988.
Studio sessions took
place the following days and resulted in this album.
Jri Stivin is absolutely
stunning in the first track but the whole album is pretty good. Not a dud track IMHO. Get it!
I do not think it had appeared in the blogworld before.
