ECM 2810
Release: 13 September 2024
Vocalist and violinist Alice Zawadzki, pianist Fred Thomas (who also plays the vielle and drums here) and bassist Misha Mullov-Abbado present a rare alchemy on their trio debut, fusing folk idioms from a multitude of sources with free flowing interplay and fluid structures. Inhabiting their own stylistic realm, the trio encompasses folk song, chamber music, improvisation and acoustic jazz, and on Za Górami they present the full span of their reach in a mesmerizing whole. Ladino traditionals are heard alongside striking renditions of Gustavo Santaolalla’s “Suéltate Las Cintas” and Simón Díaz’s “Tonada De Luna Llena”. The title-lending Polish traditional “Za Górami” is performed in a poignant interpretation by Zawadzki and the Renaissance piece “Je Suis Trop Jeunette” finds a kindred spirit in Fred Thomas’s monody-inspired setting of James Joyce’s in “Gentle Lady”. The album was recorded at the Auditorio Stelio Molo in Lugano and produced by Manfred Eicher.

From another world… but listenable in this. 😌

This album is astonishing! Listened to it twice last night and feel hooked on it somehow. Alice Zawadzki is such a wonderful communicator and brings these stories across Europe and into my home. Thank you all three of you for wonderfully unshowy, but tight, meaningful musicianship and craft. Wonderful.

What a shame-the album appears on Bandcamp but only as a CD and not as a download. ;-(
