1st Sopot Jazz Festival JAZZ '56 3-CDs box-set
The first Sopot Jazz Festival, which took place in August 1956 is regarded as the key event in the history of Polish jazz. It represented the culmination of the first, chaotic period in the development of Polish jazz. It marked the full emergence of jazz from the underground and the music's first official recognition on a major scale. It ended the "catacomb era" and launched the "time of frenzy". Jazz came out of the catacombs and immediately became recognized as a symbol of freedom and liberation from boredom and obscurantism, as well as a chance for contact, solidarity and unity with the rest of the world.

KEN VANDERMARK VANDERMARK 5 Four Sides To The Story 2-LP's LTD EDITION BOX SET
When I look back and think about the ideas we were dealing with a year ago, and when I listen to the recording held in that club, I’m confronted with the failures that are there; which is probably why I’d rather be doing something else than writing these liner notes right now. But I’m also excited by what I hear, that the start of the music by the new quintet was so strong. From night to night it continues to be, which is why after ten years this ensemble is still looking for it’s next gig- so that it can keep finding something different to say and hopefully pay some of the rent along the way.
