When the word hit the street that the Zbigniew Namyslowski Quintet was appearing at London's Polish Jazz Café POSK it quickly became the hottest jazz ticket in town. Even up here in the frozen north (Newcastle) fans, remembering his early 1960's appearance at the then Polish owned New Orleans Jazz Club, contemplated heading south.
We left it too late and have only that treasured album - Lola - to cling to.
Fortunately, BSH is 'connected' down south and our man, Tomasz Furmanek, kindly sent me this fantastic set of photos by Monika S. Jakubowska. Tomasz who arranged the concert as part of his 'Tomasz Furmanek invites' series of concerts said that it was...a truly memorable night of music and musicality.
Tomasz also drew my attention to Richard Williams' review of the gig on Richard's blog The Blue Moment.

PS: If memory serves me right, The Globe, HQ of the Jazz Coop was, once upon a time, a Polish bar...
