Supraphon Release Information



When a proper collector of Czech jazz looks at the discography of the Gustav Brom Orchestra, which comprises more than 1500 individual titles – compositions or songs, he might come to believe that everything essential has already been released on available sound carriers, that there is nothing more to discover. The fact is exactly the opposite: we are still far from knowing everything that this tireless bandleader has captured on tape, the number of which, according to the estimates of those in the know, still exceeds that number on the Esta, Ultraphon, Supraphon, Panton, Opus and other labels. These treasures are hidden in the phonotheque of Czech Radio Brno, where we searched and brought to light boxes on which dust had settled for half a century.

How we proceeded: after the opening jingle, including a welcome by the bandmaster, we gathered for the first time ever all six pieces with a solo clarinet by a rare guest, New Orleans native Edmond Hall. Following are representative selections by the composing members of the orchestra, first by Jaromír Hnilička, followed by other pillars of the band, Josef Audes, Josef Blaha, Mojmír Bártek and others. Brno’s third-string composers, Pavel Blatný, Miloš Štědroň, Arnošt Parsch and Alexej Fried, who have long collaborated with Gustav Brom, have not gone unnoticed. Prague musicians from Karel Velebný’s circle who repeatedly came to Gustav Brom with their scores are also mentioned: K. V. and his fellow players, Karel Růžička, Emil Viklický, Josef Vejvoda and Petr Kořínek. The greater part of the fourth reel belongs to the sung recordings, as these were also among the best of the orchestra’s output, which has been active under its founder for nearly 55 years. That's quite a piece of history.
