}}Astigmatic is a studio album by Polish jazz pianist and composer Krzysztof Komeda. It is often considered to be Komeda's masterpiece as well as one of the greatest albums of both Polish and European jazz.[1][2][3]

Composition

Astigmatic consists of three long tracks, all written by Komeda. "Kattorna" (meaning "female cats" in Swedish[1]) is based on a motif from Komeda's soundtrack for a movie of the same name directed by Henning Carlsen.[3] "Svantetic" is dedicated to Svante Foerster, a Swedish poet who was a friend of Komeda.[4]

The music combines many disparate elements, including modal playing, free jazz-inspired improvisation, precise forms, tone clusters, aleatoric structures and avant-garde use of timbre and articulation, while imbuing them with individual expression and a sense of dramatic lyricism that's been compared to late Romantic music.[2][5]

Reception and legacy

Richard Cook and Brian Morton name it as "one of the finest jazz albums ever made in Europe" and include it among the 1001 best jazz records in their book The Penguin Jazz Guide.[6] Critic Stuart Nicholson wrote that it "has become a bellwether for European jazz, with critics pointing to how this album marked a shift away from the dominant American approach with the emergence of a specific European aesthetic".[7] Manfred Eicher, the founder of ECM Records, described it as a milestone in the history of jazz.[8]

Writing about the 2016 reissue, FACT Magazine author Mikey IQ Jones stated that "Komeda's compositions and arrangements are beautiful and complex, and it's the rare epochal album whose power is still potent from the first listen through to its thousandth".[9]

The compositions from Astigmatic have been repeatedly reinterpreted by Polish jazz musicians, including Urszula Dudziak, Michał Urbaniak and Tomasz Stańko.[2] The title of the album Asthmatic by Polish free jazz band Miłość is an ironic reference to Astigmatic.[10]
