Some
of you will know the Polish group Slow
by their debut album Art of Silence (2011). Tomasz
Kaczmarczyk (guitar) and Krzysztof Wermiński (piano) are the founder
of this formation. Their new album is entitled Songs For
Everyone and this is serious.
Some new musicians are joining the project꞉
Marcin Rak on drums and Kamil Pełka on electric bass, the singers
Jagoda Jahga and Anna Ozner, and a string quartet from Wroclove’
Opera House! The album takes a first run with Workaround.
The melody is lead by Leszek Szczerba's
soprano sax and delivers an intimate chamber
piece in the style of Fourplay.
Jak dużo features singer Jagoda Jahga. Due to the language barrier the meaning of the song
eludes me. But everything sounds captivating and
the instrumental bridge is just perfect. The third song Nie
znaczy nic means translated It does not mean anything.
Vocalist Anna Olzner provides local color with her mellow vocals.
Leszek Szczerba's soprano sax and
Tomasz' acoustic guitar round up the emotional impression.
With Metropolitan the band returns to the cool atmosphere
of a capital city.
On Jog our main players showcase with instinctive certainty
their skills. Song for Everyone
exposes Jagoda's wonderful vocals in a dreamy environment. This
melody should be heard. Force Majeure featuring
Anna Olzner is also a gem of Polish art of song. On Bigger
Brother
Tomasz and Krzysztof enter into an intimate
instrumental dialogue.
The title says it all. Smooth As Silk comes melodious and
cuddly. Precious brings a gentle final. The musicians put emphasis
on the acoustic component. Whereby the recording reproduces every
fine detail.
Slow intends with Songs For Everyone the widest possible
spreading. The music speaks for itself. Hopefully it gets favorable
hearing at the listener.
