Jazz on Film Records announces the official release on Monday 17th November of Jazz in Polish Cinema following a successful launch on Saturday at the London Jazz Festival that included an introduction by the box set producer Selwyn Harris and a brilliant short ‘live’ solo piano set by the leading young Polish pianist Marcin Masecki, his personal interpretations of a selection of soundtrack themes by Krzysztof Komeda on the box (from Le Depart, Innocent Sorcerers and Knife in the Water).
This segued perfectly into a rare big screening of Polanski’s Knife in the Water and ended with Q&A with Selwyn Harris hosted by the Sight & Sound film writer Michael Brooke.
The previous day saw a extremely positive 4-star review in the Guardian by John Fordham
