{"product_id":"mazolewski-wojtek-solo","title":"MAZOLEWSKI, WOJTEK - Solo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"LP version. The leader of the internationally acclaimed Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet reveals a more intimate, personal side in his solo project. Solo , the new album from Wojtek Mazolewski , offers a chamber-like, cinematic and deeply atmospheric listening experience. One might expect a solo album to become an opportunity for virtuosic displays, yet Mazolewski takes a different path -- presenting the double bass as a melodic instrument, played with remarkable sensitivity and tenderness, revealing the richness and depth of its sound. Solo is a surprising record. Despite its subtle arrangements: harp, flute, percussion, gentle electronics, and whispered vocals, the music captivates from the very first notes. Modern in spirit, it occasionally surprises with a gentle, dance-infused pulse. Mazolewski creates space for focus and reflection without falling into new-age clichés. The album's sound quality is also noteworthy, crafted by producers Wojtek Mazolewski and Wojtek Urbanski , (Polish platinum producer and film composer) and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Ben Rawlins . Episodic but essential contributions from the exceptional harpist Marysia Osu also deserve mention. For years, Mazolewski has been a respected figure on the international stage. His Quintet's album Polka was one of DownBeat 's favorite albums of the year. He has been a frequent guest on Gilles Peterson 's BBC Show and performed a memorable Bronswood Session there. Mazolewski's creative reach extends beyond WMQ and his solo output, including his experimental Tryp Tych Trio project with Tamar Osborn and Sarathy Korwar , as well as collaborations with artists such as Pete Wareham , Tomasz Stańko , Urszula Dudziak , John Zorn , Tim Berne , and Dennis González .\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WMQ","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":48173078773979,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":48173115310299,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/files\/WMQ011LP_PROD.jpg?v=1769012133","url":"https:\/\/www.fusetronsound.com\/products\/mazolewski-wojtek-solo","provider":"fusetron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
