POMATON 026
By Adam Baruch
This is an album by the Polish duo which comprises of the vocalist/pianist/violinist Stanisław Soyka and legendary trumpeter Andrzej Przybielski. Soyka does not perform any vocals on this album and appears only as pianist and violinist. The album, recorded during two sessions held a couple of months apart, presents fifteen relatively short freely improvised pieces, not credited on the album's artwork and therefore assumed to be co-composed by the duo members. Soyka and Przybielski cooperated on several recording projects over the years.
The music is obviously a result
of searching for new forms of expression, especially as far as Soyka is
concerned, since he is mostly associated with Blues and mainstream vocal Jazz,
in complete contrast to Przybielski, who was always associated with the
avant-garde Polish Jazz movement, although he could play brilliant melodic
music as well, when required to do so. Therefore the effort to bridge between
the natural environments of the two players is an impossible task and the
result fails to create any relevant results. Soyka is completely lost in the
Improvising Music idiom and Przybielski is just playing along.
Przybielski plays some
brilliant trumpet passages, but they are completely detached from the piano and
violin parts created by Syjka and sound completely out of place. Although the
album's title promises the listener to discover the art of wandering, in fact
he is sadly exposed to the failure of senseless wandering. Although every piece of
recorded music by Przybielski is a treasure chest, this album is probably the
weakest effort he was ever involved with and as a result it is only marginally
interesting.
