"Krzysztof Komeda was a Polish film music composer and jazz pianist. Perhaps best known for his soundtrack work, Komeda wrote the scores for Roman Polanski's films ROSEMARY'S BABY, THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS, KNIFE IN THE WATER and CUL-DE-SAC.
Komeda's album Astigmatic (1965) is widely regarded as one of the most important European jazz albums; critic Stuart Nicholson describes the album as ''marking a shift away from the dominant American approach with the emergence of a specific European aesthetic.''
This period, in which Komeda was improving his own musical language, was crowned with ''Ballet Etudes'' performed at the Jazz Jamboree '62. Although the reaction of domestic critics for the Etudes was rather cold, it opened the doors to Europe for Krzysztof Komeda.
The original Danish Metronome LP is very desired among jazz collectors worldwide. Top copies sell for astronomic prices. This reissue comes perfectly restored and remastered including the original liner notes."
