Zbigniew Namyslowski: Lola (Decca UK 1964)

Posted by on September 18, 2008

Looking at the cover it’s hard to understand how the baby faced Zbigniew managed to come up with this LP (Possibly the first Polish Jazz record recorded and released in the UK? He was also the oldest in the quartet). A recent bay purchase, I’ve been after a copy of this for quite some time. The quality of the pressing is great and the music more so. The track for inclusion here translates to: “Beautiful Lola, Flower of The North”. A lovely 4/4 cut with several bossa rhythm changes that create for me at least a very nice track indeed.

    Thanks for posting this. Beautiful track and this LP is on that great coveted plateau of elite vinyl. Polish modern jazz on a lush decca pressing-wow! We had a copy in the Oxfam shop where I work along with “The Heart is a Lotus” and “Jazz in Italy 1962” by the Valdambrini sextet (that deserves to be on waxidermy,). I couldn’t afford any of them! Oh well, it all goes to good cause, I tell myself.
