Description
Frozen Silence is the third ECM release from alto saxophonist Maciej Obara's Polish-Norwegian quartet, bringing the story forward from Unloved and Three Crowns, recordings which confirmed the ensemble's standing as one of the most strikingly original European bands of the present moment. The quartet's creative sense of musical interplay is again to the forefront of this newest album, recorded in Oslo in the summer of 2022, which may be their strongest statement to date. Obara's new music optimally highlights his intuitive musical relationship with Dominik Wania, while Ole Morten Vagan and Gard Nilssen continually transcend rhythm section roles to interact persuasively with the saxophonist and the pianist.
Maciej Obara: alto saxophone
Dominik Wania: piano
Ole Morten Vågan: double bass
Gard Nilssen: drums
Press:
"Obara's third album on ECM sees him team up with his Polish-Norwegian quartet for their most persuasive statement so far... A nourishing, wholesome record." - **** Jazzwise
"Frozen Silence features four strong individual players, but it's the mindful interplay and expressive freedom with which they connect that makes this album so enjoyable to listen to. Repeated listening recommended." - **** UK Vibe
"Another impressive release from a band that is continuing to evolve over an extended period of time together, with each new release as well as being a satisfying listen always hints at what is yet to come." - Jazz Views -
