MIECZYSLAW KOSZ ~ REMINISCENCE (POLISH JAZZ VOL.25) MUZA 925 ~ POLAND ~ Jazz Recorded: 1971Released: 2004 Mieczyslaw KoszFind albums by this artist was one of the greatest hopes of Polish Jazz and his untimely death at a ridiculously young age (29) was a true tragedy. He was a most lyrical and technically perfect pianist ever on the Polish scene and everybody compared his work with that of Bill EvansFind albums by this artist. Unfortunately this album is the only proper recording of his superb playing (some more material does exists but the recording quality is not that great). On this album Kosz plays some of his interesting interpretations of classical music and some of his elegant compositions. For lovers of piano trios this is a true diamond!
SMITH, TOMMY ~ REMINISCENCE LINN 024 ~ UK ~ Jazz This 1993 trio recording (sax/bass/drums) places Smith in the major league of the jazz musicians in spite of his young age. His voicing and technique are truly outstanding and his adaptation of the Coltrane legacy is shattering. Also his compositional skills come to view here for the first time, as he penned the whole material.
