Passacaglia

Description

A duo at the summit of the European jazz scene: the meeting between Adam Baldych and Leszek Mozdzer. "Passacaglia" brings together two of the leading figures of Polish jazz, violinist Adam Baldych and pianist Leszek Mozdzer (a true phenomenon and major star in his home country). The connections and affinities between them are so evident that this meeting was long awaited. This first joint album reveals the musical essence of both protagonists. They use a highly unusual combination of instruments. In addition to the classical violin, Baldych also plays a Renaissance-era violin that offers a soft, warm sound and a deeper range. He also plays with astonishing pizzicato resonance, which makes the way melancholic melodies are sustained remarkable. As for Mozdzer, his classical education (which includes the Polish musical tradition) is almost always the foundation for him to explore his own sound worlds with virtuosic technique. The result is a unique sound. An inspired meeting that will delight all music lovers fond of chamber jazz and contemporary musical aesthetics.
