Radek Nowicki Quartet - Live On releasing his CD, Nowicki was aged thirty-one—exactly the same age as Coltrane at the time of his first original album. A pure coincidence and, of course, of no particular significance, and yet it seems like a good omen...

The Bob Szajner Triad - Afterthoughts "Afterthoughts" is the third album in continuing set of six hours 1980 recording session from Bob Szajner TRIAD trio.
The Bob Szajner Triad - Sound Ideas Three well-versed jazz musicians congregated at a ranch house basement recording studio on Beatrice Street in Livonia Michigan to document all of my original tunes (all at that time) by performing them without rehearsals, without second takes, without any audio enhancements, and improvising solos based on the feelings created in the moment.

The Bob Szajner Triad - The Best of Triad This disc features the late Roy Brooks on drums and Ray McKinney on bass. The collection contains a combination of earlier released albums: The Bob Szajner Triad, a 3-record set and released individually as Jazz Opus 20/40, Sound Ideas, and Afterthoughts. This is unrehearsed, live jazz played without retakes. It results in a highly improvised, spontaneous, but still very cohesive musical undertaking. Very enjoyable if you can do without fancy sound engineering and other audio enhancements. This CD is straight up acoustic jazz with some excellent solos throughout.

The Bob Szajner Triad II - The Lost Tapes Take a gloomy night in May 1981, plus a room not meant for recording, plus a piano destined for the "keyboard cemetery", plus a sound engineer unfamiliar with the finer aspects of recording and add to this three talented jazz artists playing original material and you have a strange concoction indeed. If sound quality is all you want in a jazz recordings, please DO NOT listen to this album. But, if you are a curious adventurous soul willing to look and listen past the technical imperfections of the recorded production on the underlying artistic talent and unique content of these improvised vehicles patterned after '50s-'60s "classic" jazz genre, then this is for you to review and hopefully enjoy!!

The Bob Szajner Triad II and III - center\\\cuts Center\Cuts is a collection of bop and hard bop tunes recorded live at the Detroit Jazz Center World Stage in 1981. Marked by easy, infectious melodies and grooves, and steady swinging basslines, this disc features some nice solos and exchanges between musicians. Especially of note is track #3, which features a twanging and swift-fingered bass solo, and upbeat, snappy drums. Arrangements are straight-forward and simply structured. The true essence of jazz improvisation is displayed here. A good listen.

Wojtek Staroniewicz Karambola Music played by Staroniewicz represents the healthy contemporary jazz, firmly anchored partly in Coltrane and partly in the finest traditions of The Messengers, without a doubt belonging to the Tricity school, which school for years now has been arousing admiration and awe among the members of our society.(Jan Ptaszyn Wroblewski)
