Włodzimierz Nahorny

[Rabshakeh]

Polish alto player, who is on Andrej Trzaskowski's Seant, oddly alongside Ted Curson.

I am enjoying his playing, which is gutsy in the early FMP vein. Surprised to have never heard of him, particularly because he appears to have released a number of records. Does anyone know anything about him or have anything to recommend?

Always fancied a copy of 'Seant' but prices are steep for the first Polish presses.

I'll be interested to hear what folk have to say about Nahorny too

If you enjoy his playing on "Seant", you will probably also like his trio album "Heart" from the same period. Nothing earth-shattering, but a fine record of Polish "New Thing"-jazz.

Sorry, thought this was a typing exercise.

"Heart" is solid. Nothing earth-shattering, I agree. The only other album of Nahorny I have is "Pioseniki lwowskie" recorded in 1995: https://www.discogs.com/release/8000514-Włodzimierz-Nahorny-Piosenki-Lwowskie . It's a mainstream folk-type thing with accordion and violin, Nahorny plays piano exclusively. It's cute.

Sorry, thought this was a joke rather than just making fun of a foreign name
