Musical summit storms - On its second ECM album Three Crowns, the Polish-Norwegian quartet of alto saxophonist Maciej Obara presents itself in captivating form.
Maciej Obara (born 1981) was already able to set valuable accents in the band of the Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko a few years ago and also caused quite a stir in his home country with his band "Obara International".
*THREE CROWNS*, his second album for ECM, was named by the Polish alto saxophonist MACIEJ OBARA after the Trzy Korony mountain (Three Crowns Mountain) of the Pieniny mountain range in southern Poland. The performance of the quartet, which climbs new musical peaks here, is correspondingly. The album features six fresh pieces by the band leader and fascinating interpretations of two works by Polish composer Gorecki (1933-2010). Remarkably, the Gorecki family gave their blessing to improvising musicians for the first time to record his works.
Maciej Obara, pianist DOMINIK WANIA , bassist OLE MORTON VAGAN and drummer GARD NILSSEN, the latter two from Norway, approach the two compositions with the intensity and focus that distinguishes them elsewhere in the forefront of contemporary jazz. It's a truly special quartet with a layered and detailed sound, an alliance of highly individual instrumentalists committed to group work while still managing to find room for self-development.
Maciej Obara, whose focused alto saxophone sound balances lyricism with eruptive emotion, is ideally supported by Dominik Wania, a fantastic pianist with impressive technique and a classical background. "Both are improvisers of mercurial energy," stated the British Guardian. Norwegians Vagan and Nilssen, who joined the two Poles in 2012, developed their close synergistic relationship primarily in Obara's band. Maciej Obara has described his strongly melodic themes as outlines "from which our sound is liberated." In this, each individual member of the quartet lends form, color, and impetus to the music. The quartet's star has risen steadily in recent years.
