Editorial Reviews

Review

Phenomenal! Above all, the melange of jazz and Klezmer, of Polish folk music and Celtic influences just sounds outrageously good. The powerful deep tone attacks when Vitold makes his double bass rumble; those unbelievable dynamics, the merciless accuracy of detail which, neither ever too analytical nor too severe but rather beautifully balanced, ever preserves the organic. You have to have heard it. --ichael Sohn, Stereoplay 5/07,Germany


Product Description

Performed by: Vitold Rek - double bass Jaroslaw Bester - accordion Ramesh Shotham - percussion: tavil, mridangam, kanjira, morsing, zarbang, konakol, cymbals, ghatam, and vocal // Recorded: 13 & 14 March 2006 at Loft Studio Cologne, Germany // The German label Taso Music has, in this category of music, one of the most original world jazz catalogues which connects jazz with the deep and rich inspiration from global ethnical music. The Polish double bassist Vitold Rek deserves great credit for pioneering this innovative approach to the jazz of the future . A graduate of the Music Academy in Cracow and the winner of the individual prize at the Jazz Nad Odra festival in 1975, he was later to play with group Sun Ship and Tomasz Stanko. Rek has been living for many years in Germany where he is an active musician, composer and educator. His newest musical project Home was recorded with the Polish accordionist Jaros?aw Bester (the founder of the Cracow Klezmer Band) and Ramesh Shotham the virtuoso percussionist of Indian instruments. The greater part of the material on the CD was written by the leader and is a synthesis between jazz, classical and folk music(Polish, Jewish, Scottish and Indian). The gigantic sound of the double bass is filled to the brim with Bester s songful playing and with Shotham s oriental rhythm.
