MACIEJ OBARA QUARTET レコード& CD

Review: Frozen Silence is the latest album by Polish saxophonist and composer Maciej Obara, made in collaboration with his working quartet; including Dominik Wania on piano, Ole Morten Vagan on bass, and Gard Nilssen on drums. Written during the pandemic, these compositions have a direct relationship with nature and isolation, exposing the introspective side of the composer. A mystical, twinkling and melodic sound abounds here, as every element in the mix pops and jut outward, in what could be one of the most dynamic, pristine and impeccably-recorded jazz albums to grace our ears this year.
