This is the debut album by Polish Jazz vocalist / lyricist Marta GoluchFind albums by this artist. It presents ten tracks, all featuring her original lyrics. She is accompanied by a classic piano trio, with pianist Karolina KrzyzanowskaFind albums by this artist, who composed nine of the songs, bassist Bartlomiej BrozdaFind albums by this artist and drummer Kacper SkolikFind albums by this artist. Guitarist Pawel RuszkowskiFind albums by this artist, who composed the remaining song, guests on four tracks and trumpeter Sergiej KriuczkowFind albums by this artist guests also on four tracks. The album offers a wonderful sound quality, which is not surprising considering that Ignacy GruszeckiFind albums by this artist was behind the console.
The album is kept in a classic Jazz Swing / cabaret mood, with a clear wink towards the musical scene of the period between the two wars. The songs are all based on solid melodies, the lyrics are intelligent and somewhat humorous, and the entire album swings and entertains splendidly for the entire duration.
Goluch has a worm, lovely voice and performs the songs exactly as required by the stylistic setting, which is an Art in itself. The trio plays splendidly and amicably, staying respectfully in the background, but supporting the vocals with panache and verve.
The quartet is presented under the moniker of Kabaret Mlodszych PanienFind albums by this artist (cabaret of younger women), which for Polish listeners has an obvious meaning, referring to a famous Kabaret Starszych PanowFind albums by this artist (cabaret of older men), a post WWII famous Polish cabaret, which entertained an entire generation. It is pretty obvious that the music on this album can be performed as a cabaret show, which I’d personally love to hear.
Overall, this is a splendid peace of entertainment, somewhat limited to Polish speaking audiences due to the language barrier, but can be universally enjoyed. Although soaked in nostalgia, it is far from simple imitation and offers original new material with a nostalgic tear in eye’s corner. Fabulously done!
