Jazz LP Supraphon ca. 1963-89 (2/3)

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 do NOT have an uncle in America who sends you the occasional 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, Goodman, Holiday, Brubeck, Coltrane, Coleman, Davis, Mingus etc.
For the 1990s and younger to give you an idea of what it was like.
For the elderly and the advanced to remember how it will (hopefully) never be again.
Dear aficionados and the merely curious, come and stand in line, we are opening in Husitská 22, 20.2.2023 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 (approximately) chronologically, as the records were released by Supraphon, which is definitely not how they were originally released in the world.

Second night of three planned.

Free admission.
