Borys Janczarski
Polish tenor saxophonist Borys Janczarski, who for some years co-led an excellent quintet with drummer Stephen McCraven, has since gone his own way with a quartet of which he is sole leader. This is their first release, Time Remembered, is available exclusively on Bandcamp. Interestingly, the album was made three and a half years ago, in July 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic was scaring the bejesus out of anyone who gathered together—to make music or anything else. It’s a shame ...

Dixieland Goes Progressive

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Ever sit down to a meal and find yourself loving food you never liked before? Your change of heart often is the result of an ingredient or a special preparation that makes the dish downright delicious. It could be fish with an amazing mustard sauce or broccoli with caraway and toasted almonds. I'm that way with Dixieland. Never cared much for it, probably because it has always sounded to me like New Orleans jazz scrubbed of its soul. But in ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Many Americans born in the 1950s like to think of London in 1961 as a set from My Fair Lady. Lots of rosy- cheeked Julie Andrews types, coal fireplaces, and men rushing about in forest-green tweed. Also in these same imaginations, teenage guys look like the brooding Beatles during their Hamburg, Germany, period while teenage girls are bubbly and confident, and look like Helen Shapiro or Shirley Bassey. In truth, there was a thriving jazz scene at the clubs and ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
In 1962, London was at a crossroads, musically. Throughout the 1950s, traditional jazz and skiffle dominated the live music scene. Lacking a robust and free radio environment thanks to rigid control of the airwaves by the BBC, young people and adults clung to what they knew. For the senior set, trad jazz, with its upbeat melody and harmony lines, kept spirits high. For the young, washboard folk music provided an earthy refuge from British formality and modernity. But from the ...
