Polish jazz bassist Wojtek Mazolewski is a public figure in his home country who managed to reach a wide and young audience with his fusion band Pink Freud. He also writes music for television, always looks stylish and has jazz tattooed on his fingers. With his quintet he returns more to the Polish avant-garde jazz of the last century and was able to reap European success for the first time with
… the album (2014). Successor When Angels Fall continues where Polka left off, with leading roles for erratic interplay of trumpet and saxophone, supplemented with loosely swinging rhythms that echo the Central European background of the band. Music that expresses melancholy as well as festivities and at the same time is fully in keeping with contemporary jazz. (MR)more
