Looking For Balance (Universal, 2011)

Krzysztof Herdzin very quickly after his interesting album "Capacity" recorded in trio  has released another disc "Looking For Balance" which may be seen as continuation of last year "Symphonicum". Recorded with the same personnel it sees the biggest change in adding Marek Napiórkowski on guitar and, most of all, Grégoire Maret on harmonica. These two musicians few years ago recorded album "Wolno"  which gathered very positive opinions among smooth jazz audience in Poland. So with addition of this duo Krzysztof Herdzin has saturated his third stream efforts with strong intake of smooth jazz and pop aesthetics. In result music is light, warm & cheerful and because of the presence of excellent strings of Sinfonia Viva Orchestra it resembles a movie track to some family film or romantic comedy.
