PRIVATE EDITION
By Adam Baruch
This is a limited edition album celebrating the tenth anniversary of musical cooperation between Polish Jazz musicians: bassist Marcin Oles and drummer Bartlomiej Brat Oles, collectively known as Oles Brothers and German clarinetists Theo Jorgensmann. The album also features the German vibraphonist Christopher Dell and together as a quartet they present eight original compositions: four of which are credited to all quartet members, two are by Jorgensmann and one each by the Oles brothers.
The album follows the pattern
set by the three earlier albums recorded by the Oles Brothers with Jorgensmann,
but is also somewhat more "conventional" in a way, with clear melody
lines and beautiful serene atmosphere, which turns the listening to this album
into a truly relaxed experience. Jorgensmann plays beautifully, as always and
the rhythm section accompanies him with superb sensitivity, with the bass
taking the lead from time to time as well. Dell is the least dominant
participant, which is pretty understandable considering the long and
established understanding between the other three musicians, but his solos are perfectly
suitable for the music as is his accompaniment behind the clarinet.
Overall this is another example
of the great music the Oles Brothers are always involved with, and a document
of a fruitful musical cooperation between European musicians. Full of great
music and perfect delivery this album should satisfy even the sternest Jazz
connoisseurs and provide a listening experience worthy of being revisited.
