ANDRZEJ JAGODZIŃSKI TRIO
This is the Music, which draws in the listener from its very first
notes, keeps one attentive but at the same time enjoying the sound of pieces
which are truly excellent …
„If
Chopin really was a composer for the right hand only, as Wagner grouchily
complained, then perhaps Andrzej Jagodzinski has provided a missing
accompaniment” – with such words has Brian Morton depicted the jazz
compositions of Jagodzinski, which are interpretations of Chopin’s
masterpieces.
The album recorded by Andrzej Jagodziński Trio
represents the absolute masterwork amongst the many thus far created
interpretations of Fryderyk Chopin’s music. Oryginal, unique, climactic –
these are the most common descriptions appearing time and again in the praising
reviews of the album. The amazingly discovering and fresh play of Jagodzinski
stuns with its harmonious combination of the dignified chopinesque classic and
much lighter jazz. This is the Music, which draws in the listener from its very
first notes, keeps one attentive but at the same time enjoying the sound of
pieces which are truly excellent. It will delight the fans of classic Chopin,
jazzu and additionally attract those, to whom these genre have been thus far
foreign.
