Krzysztof Komeda was born on this date, 27 April 1931. During his short life [he died from accident in 1969…], the Polish composer and pianist managed to record some exciting music. He’s mostly known for the soundtracks he wrote for Polanski‘s films: Rosemary’s Baby, Knife In The Water, Fearless Vampire Killers, from which we hear excerpts. We also hear a track from Astigmatic, the masterpiece of European jazz he released in 1966…

Lately I have been rebloging music videos from Oannes new blog. For my friends who didn’t know, or wonder why…. Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and mine] musical selections. • Although here I reblog mainly his musical selections, he writes exceptional articles on various topics [some may need translation], so do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
