Description
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 Gorami they present the full span of their reach in a mesmerizing whole. Ladino traditionals are heard alongside striking renditions of Gustavo Santaolalla's "Sueltate Las Cintas" and Simon Diaz's "Tonada De Luna Llena". The title-lending Polish traditional "Za Gorami" 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.
