Sławomir Jaskułke - piano

PRIVATE EDITION
By Adam Baruch
This is the sixth solo album by the Polish Jazz pianist/composer Sławomir Jaskułke and his third solo piano recording. The album presents a five-part solo piano suite, composed and performed by Jaskulke, using extensive sound effects, which make the music sound unusually spacey and full of reverb and echo.
The album follows the trend of
its predecessor, and pursues a clear path away from the Jazz idiom, which was
Jaskulke's initial playground, towards minimal music, characterized by
repetitive patterns and ambient drone music. As much as I respect Jaskulke for
his past achievements, this music does nothing to me, and in fact is quite
difficult for me to listen to. The distorted sound and reverb are physically
unpleasant after a few minutes getting progressively worse in time. I admit not
being able to listen to the album in its entirety.
As usual in such cases, I blame
myself entirely for not being able to like and appreciate this music. Jaskulke
is an immensely talented musician and I hope that he'll find his way back to
Jazz at some point in his life, wishing him all the best with whatever path he
chooses to follow.
