What could be more beautiful than an experimental avant-garde jazz album made in Warsaw, Poland? Probably nothing, judging by today's proposal from the #buzz series curated by yours truly, following the insights of @ALFAMA.
Niechec - Niechec (Audio Cave, April 01, 2016)
An astonishing album of experimental and avant-garde jazz from this band hailing from Warsaw, Poland, who have been on the scene since 2012. "Niechec," the eponymous album of this ensemble composed of Maciech Zwierzchowski (saxophone), Tomasz Wielechowski (piano), Rafal Blaszczak (guitar), Maciej Szczepanski (bass) and Michal Kaczorek (drums), tackles the classic sound of the jazz genre, filling it with typically prog rock influences and cinematic ambient moments. The sound is jarring, often reminiscent of certain experimental bands from the nineties and early two-thousands like the Ex, while I must say we are miles away from the sound of the Heliocentrics (another avant-garde jazz group) because in this case, rather than seeking hypnosis, they aim to shake the listener with sudden bursts of acidic and vibrant sonorities, whether the chosen rhythms are more moderate or deeply imbued with the atmospheres typical of those American night-time jazz sessions. If we were to consider it as a soundtrack, this album would practically be the soundtrack of a kind of "insane asylum," a complete ode to madness and the sensitive alteration of every balance. Truly beautiful. Recorded with guest appearances by Karolina Rec (viola), Piotr Lukaszewski (guitar), Jacek Szabranski (guitar), Sebastian Witkowski (electronics). Cheers.
