Jazz LP Supraphon ca 1963-89 #3

The last night of three, excerpts from LPs released by Supraphon in the 1980s.

You live on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain before 1989. You LOVE jazz, that decadent music of oppressed but progressive American blacks and white swingers to hipsters. YOU DON'T have an uncle in America who would occasionally send you some elp from the mall bargain bin.
But you have a Supraphon store on the corner where you can buy licensed vinyl of your favourite music a few times a year. Traditional jazz, hot, swing, cool, jazzrock, maybe even free and avant-garde. Armstrong, Ellington, Coltrane, Davis, Hancock, Bley, Mingus etc. For the 1990's and younger to get an idea of what it was like. For the older and advanced to remember how it will (hopefully) never be again.

Dear aficionados and the merely curious, come and stand in line, we open in Husitská 22, on Thursday 23.3.2023 at 19h.

Listening to excerpts from licensed jazz vinyls released in the Czechoslovakia between 1963 and 1989, with light accompanying words and quotations from contemporary sleevenotes. We will follow (roughly) chronologically the way the records were released by Supraphon which is definitely not the way they were originally released in the world.

Free admission.
