CHORUS & DISCO COMPANY ~ DOLINA DIAMENTOW: ANTOLOGIA 1978
GAD 087 (Barcode: 5903068120190) ~ POLAND ~ Jazz-Pop Fusion

Recorded: 1977 - 1978 Released: 2019

This is a reissue of the only two albums recorded by the Polish studio project Chorus & Disco CompanyFind albums by this artist managed by Leszek BogdanowiczFind albums by this artist: "Swiatla DyskotekiFind albums with this title" & "DiscolandFind albums with this title". The albums featured session musicians, many of which played on the local Polish Jazz scene, as well as a string section comprised of players of the Warsaw Philharmonic. The music was entirely composed and arranged by Bogdanowicz and Andrzej JanuszkoFind albums by this artist, a celebrated composer of Polish Popular Music.

Although recorded when Poland was still deeply behind the Iron Curtain, the music was not only up to date, but in fact it was at least if not more sophisticated and well made than most of the Popular instrumental music created in Western Europe. The Polish Muza / Polskie Nagrania label intended these albums for the Western market, which did not happen at the time but they were re-discovered years later and enjoyed popularity in clubs around Europe.

Despite the Disco flavoring, the music was actually more Funk, Groove and Smooth Jazz (before the term was even coined) oriented and surprisingly sounds quite interesting and enjoyable forty years later. Both LPs became in time not surprisingly cult items sought after by record collectors and this reissue by the excellent GADFind albums on this label Records label is a most welcome initiative to bring the music back to life.

This album is wholeheartedly recommended to connoisseurs of music on the lighter side of the Jazz spectrum and followers of Polish Popular Music.
