With this legendary LP, "Jazz Evening with Aura," whose
first edition was released in February 1974, Electrecord
inaugurates the series of reissues of essential albums in
romanian music on vinyl, audio cassette, and CD
formats. In the exact 50 years since its release, this
album by Aura Urziceanu – accompanied, during the
two afternoons of the recordings, by the Bucharest
Septet, a group of formidable instrumentalists – has
become an object of veneration for many generations of
music enthusiasts in both Romania and abroad. "Jazz
Evening with Aura" defines the local jazz sound of the
mid '70s – intense, playful, tender, versatile, and
accomplished – placed within a framework that the late
Aurel Gherghel inspired called, in the text on the back
cover of the 1974 LP, "a jazz of Romanian inspiration
and atmosphere."
