Maciej Obara is undeniably one of the brightest and most acclaimed
musicians of the young Polish jazz scene. He has his own amazing quartet
now: a half-Norwegian and half-Polish band is made of Ole Morten V?gan
on bass, Gard Nilssen on drums (the musicians met with each other while
participating in the "Take Five: Europe" project), Obara on sax, and
Dominik Wania on piano. This music has five heroes; Krzysztof Komeda
serves as an inspiration for the musical construction the architects of
which are the four band members.
I must admit it is hard to decide whom to admire more: the Norwegians
for their intuitive mutual understanding and agile rhythmic narration,
Obara for leading the band with in a clearly set direction, or Dominik
Wania whose imagination as an accompanist and erudition as a soloist
seem to perfectly complement the sound image of this group. It is
needless, however, to focus on each of them separately in the search of
some outstanding attributes. The strength of this band seems to lie in
balanced proportions; together they gain the unique power to revive even
as grounded a monument as Krzysztof Komeda. The more I listen to this
recording the more I am convinced that the four musicians are the
successors whom both Komeda and Polish (though not only) jazz need.
