Recorded: 2023 Released: 2025
This is the 9th album by Polish Jazz pianist / composer Artur DutkiewiczFind albums by this artist, recorded in a classic piano trio setting with bassist Andrzej SwiesFind albums by this artist and drummer Sebastian KuchczynskiFind albums by this artist. The album presents five extended tracks, four of which are original compositions by Dutkiewicz and one is an arrangement of a traditional tune. The album was recorded live during a concert, which was one of a series of audiovisual concerts presenting music played by the trio and Art by Polish painter Jerzy NowosielskiFind albums by this artist, called “Nowosielski Live”. The music was mastered and mixed by Jan SmoczynskiFind albums by this artist and offers a wonderful sound quality.
Due to the nature of this project, which includes a visual layer, which is not present on the audio CD, the music develops much slower and is expanded more gradually, than one might expect, but this does not limit the power and beauty of expression that the trio creates, and as usual with albums recorded by Dutkiewicz, is absolutely fascinating. The listener is invited to close his eyes and create his own imagery, which this music inspires.
All three instrumentalists perform magnificently, which is hardly surprising considering their recording legacy over the years, and the difficult format, which challenges the trio with its very slow paste, works out perfectly, despite its minimalistic scope. Dutkiewicz is a great melody weaver, and this album focuses more on his great sense of melody and musical storytelling, than his technical ability, which is anyhow already established beyond any doubt.
Overall, this is another excellent addition to the recording legacy by Dutkiewicz, and a highly interesting Jazz piano trio album, which can be as much challenging as it is inventive and unusual. Definitely well done and hats off, as usual!
