  | JAH TRIO ~ TRAVELERS
SOLITON 1163 (Barcode: 5903684231638) ~ POLAND ~ Jazz
Recorded: 2019 Released: 2021
This is the debut album by Polish Jazz trio, named JAH TrioFind albums by this artist, which comprises of young representatives of the local scene: pianist Jan JareckiFind albums by this artist, bassist Michal AftykaFind albums by this artist and drummer Marcin SojkaFind albums by this artist. The album presents six tracks, which are assumably original compositions, but nothing about the authors is stated on the album’s artwork.
The music is all melody based mainstream modern Jazz, beautifully put together, performed and recorded, resulting in a “classic” Jazz piano trio album, which many Jazz listeners around the world should enjoy immensely. Although the Jazz piano trio recordings are pretty common these days, with many young artists adopting this format as their platform, this album is definitely one of the best ones released lately on the Polish scene.
The music is often deeply melancholic and bears the typical Polish characteristic of lyricism and melancholy, which have become trademarks of Polish Jazz over the decades. The compositions are coherent and intelligent, and although do not try to innovate of step outside of the well threaded path, still manage to keep the listener alert and often pleasantly surprised.
Overall, this is an excellent debut effort of surprising quality, especially in view of the age of the participating musicians, which again proves the excellent Polish musical education and widespread love of the genre. This certainly does not sound like a debut and is full of potential for future efforts. Well done indeed!
