CEZARIUSZ GADZINA TRIO - Double Heart “Double Heart” is a generous portion of wonderful jazz in its purest form: beautiful varied compositions, charming in their clarity and melodic content, and a clear acoustic sound, combined with outstanding but not overstated rhythm section.
Charlie Mariano and Vitold Rek - OPUS ABSOLUTUM The 80 year old saxophone & flute player Charlie Mariano is a living legend and the double bass player Vitold Rek is one of the most expressive and sensitive European virtuosi of his instrument. On „opus absolutum“ they are accompanied by piano & drums, and the singular, relaxed atmosphere of this jazz album is fascinating. A perfect interplay. (LJEifel) Gitarre & Bass, January 2004

Contemporary Noise Sextet - Unaffected Thought Flow SOMETHING LIKE JAZZ Contemporary Noise Quintet – jazz music without jazz, film music without movie but something splendid instead! Despite the band’s name suggesting noisy music for the chosen ones, CNQ appears to be a revelation for everyone. Beautiful, hard, romantic piano tunes in the dialogue with brass section. Simple and extraordinary emotional compositions leading to the climax which makes the flesh creeps while listening. Hair bristle on the heads of those who remember the musical past of CNQ’s members…

David Friesen & Leszek Mozdzer - Facing the wind Duets are rather rare instrumental jazz combinations. The very combination of piano and bass calls for the superior technical and creative qualities of both partners.
Easy! WOJCIECH KAROLAK I intended to cut a record with pop music played by jazz musicians. It was done easy, and it should be listened to easy as well; it may come through one ear and flow away through another. And if, incidentally, it brings the listener some pleasure - we may say that is mission is filled. Wojciech Karolak (1974)

Ecstasy Project Bydgoszcz is a place of eruption of a particular innovative energy, mainly in relation to the native tradition. It is similar in this case, although we deal here with a quite clear inspiration from the jazz-rock music of the 70's (in particular from the early groups such as Jack deJohnette, Weather Report, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra...)

Ecstasy Project - Europae Rafal Gorzycki - Ecstasy Project leader, looks at music through its twentieth-century struggle. Starting with improvisation and jazz he turns his attention towards the experiences of the European chamber music of the previous century. This is where he tries to find substantial solutions for his musical experiments. The music of mature Europe digested in the atonality, neo-Romanticism and minimalist experiments seems to be great support in his poetic excursions towards Europe Impossible, Europe with no Chaos, Europe of philosophers, artists and craftsmen. And this is this vision that makes him study the rich heritage of the last century avant-gard. With his band, whose members come from the cultures of classical music, yet again does he discourse about the beauty and lyricism devoid of the pressure of the noisy commerciality. Ecstasy Project tells us how beautiful and wise Europe is with its experience. Let us listen, although so difficult it is sometimes to believe in this beauty...(Zbigniew Zielinski)

Enterout Trio (Piotr Melech / Adam Wróblewski / Sebastian Grzesiak) - Pink Ivory The Enterout Trio was established in 2007 in Poznan, following the initiative of the clarinetist Piotr Melech, the percussionist Sebastian Grzesiak and the cellist Adam Wróblewski. Each member of the Trio has different musical experience which contributes to the eclectic character of their music. Sebastian Grzesiak and Piotr Melech began their collaboration in the Netherlands taking inspiration from Dutch avant-garde musicians. In Poznan they were joined by Adam Wróblewski, a classical cellist. From the beginning, the Trio's joint explorations were based on improvisation. Elements of jazz, modern and ethnical music combined with experimenting with sound result in an unconventional albeit consistent whole.

Grzegorz Karnas Ballady na koniec swiata ballads for the end of the world Karnas produced this CD. The instrumentation of the accompanying group is distinctive - although actually, it's not so much an accompanying group as it is musicians who, collectively, enable Karnas to better express his thoughts. Tenor sax, cello, synthesized sounds and percussion instruments - that's all...

Grzegorz Karnas Sny (the Dreams of the Ninth Floor) Karnas' singing – regardless of whether it's lyrics, syllabics or scat – is never for show; it's always music. Vocalists are probably a bit more susceptible to the lure of “shining” at all costs than are other instrumentalists. Karnas doesn't care about shining. He wants to make music. This is audible in every composition, in every measure he sings.(Robert Buczek, Jazz Forum) Sny
