About:
Joachim Mencel's "Interlude" album can be described as follows: after
years of searching, playing different music from different artists, the leading
Polish Jazz pianist
found his place in the land of jazz, has recorded an album of music fresh and
compelling, very personal, which is a culmination of artistic maturation.
