PIOTR KOMOSINSKI ~ WIETRZNE HISTORIE NOT ON LABEL ~ POLAND ~ Jazz-Ambient Fusion Recorded: 2021 - 2023 Released: 2023 This is the debut solo album by Polish Jazz bassist / composer Piotr KomosinskiFind albums by this artist. The album presents twelve short compositions (total time just about half an hour), on which he plays several instruments: acoustic and electric bass, ukulele bass, kalimba and electronics. Five of the tracks are duets with trumpeters, Michal MikeFind albums by this artist plays on four tracks and Wojciech JachnaFind albums by this artist on one. The music is a brilliant collection of miniatures, sometimes ambient, sometimes melodic, always concise and coherent, which are an excellent example of the “less is more” concept. These pieces take the listener on a magical sonic ride, which keeps constantly changing the “view in the window”, but constitutes a logical and aesthetic continuity of rare depth. The five duets with the trumpeters are obviously the most Jazz oriented pieces on the album, but they are organically consistent with the rest of the material. Personally I’d love to hear a whole album consisting of just such duets, which might be an island of serenity in the cacophonic environment we have to deal with in our everyday life. One can hope that this short album is just a glimpse into Komosinski’s musical world, which will be expanded soon by further explorations. The soon the better! Overall this is a wonderful little gem, different from most releases that land on my desk with an ever-growing pace, which is a breath of fresh air and inspires a true Nirvana. Thanks!
