Inspirations

SJ 053

By Adam Baruch

This is the debut album by Polish Fusion guitarist Michał Lewartowicz recorded with his quartet, which also includes keyboardist Rafał Czarnacki, bassist Jarosław Żarnowski and drummer Paweł Nowak. Saxophonist Adam Wendt guests on five tracks. The album presents eight original compositions, all by Lewartowicz.

The music is typical Fusion, based on solid, very melodic compositions, full of catchy riffs, well put together and not less impressive than any music of this kind made across the pond in the last four decades or so. These young musicians know their stuff and are able to express the Fusion Groove like clockwork. Lewartowicz is familiar with all the tricks of the trade and has all the sound gadgets one would expect to be in his arsenal. The rest of the quartet follows suit and veteran Wendt shows that his chops are completely up to date.

Overall this is a perfect Fusion album, that fans of the idiom will love to bits for sure. The music is catchy, the playing impressive and professional, and it is fun to listen to. It is definitely a solid debut album, reflecting the inspirations that guided Lewartowicz so far. One can only hope that now, once Lewartowicz proved his abilities, his future projects will move forward towards more ambitious territories, since honestly Fusion has not moved an inch since it was first invented a very long time ago.
