About:
Leszek Kulakowski is a Polish jazz pianist with diverse musical inspirations. Graduate of Gdansk Music Academy, to this day he is fascinated by Jazz, theatre, classical music and compositions. Polish folklore, especially from Koszuby region in northern Poland is another important stimulation for Kulakowski, as well as music of Krzysztof Komeda.
The artist who recorded this album is a pianist who uses tasteful aesthetics created by Hancock and Jarret. Intellectual conception of improvisations, eagerly avoiding tonality, is likeable especially to those acquainted with modern mainstream. Kulakowski is not looking for easy fame. He avoids formal simplifications. He is searching, experimenting. (Piotr Iwicki and Olaf Szefczyk, Gazeta Wyborcza)
