HAGAW ~ DO YOU LOVE HAGAW? (POLISH JAZZ VOL.12) POLSKIE RADIO 0544 (Barcode: 5901448115446) ~ POLAND ~ Jazz Recorded: 1967 Released: 2005 The Polish traditional Jazz ensemble HagawFind albums by this artist was one of several excellent groups formed in the 1960s, when traditional Jazz enjoyed an enormous revival in Poland, especially among students, co-existing peacefully with modern Jazz, which flourished in parallel. This is their debut album on which the ensemble plays a set of fifteen wonderful original compositions, most of all written by their primary composers: leader / banjoist Grzegorz BrudkoFind albums by this artist and trumpeter Wlodzimierz CiukFind albums by this artist. Other band members include violinist Henryk KowalskiFind albums by this artist, trombonist Jerzy KowalskiFind albums by this artist, saxophonist Ryszard KulaFind albums by this artist, bassist Wlodzimierz HalikFind albums by this artist and drummer Krzysztof AdamekFind albums by this artist. Their music is a unique mixture of early Jazz; New Orleans, Dixieland and Swing, mixed with Eastern-European influences and spiced with a great sense of humor. The group enjoyed enormous success in their country and all over the world, and they continued to tour for many years. Any true Jazz fan, even if his musical preferences lie elsewhere, should be able to appreciate how good this music is, how well it withstood the tides of time, and how enjoyable it is, transcending artificial categorization by genre. Wholeheartedly recommended!
