  • 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 VÃ¥gan: double bass
    Gard Nilssen: drums
