about

Piotr Orzechowski - piano
Daniel Toledo - bass
Paul Svanberg - drums

In times when separatism, nationalism and xenophobia seem to be taking over the world we live in, it often seems to me that Art in general, and our beloved Jazz Music in particular, is more often that not the last frontier where values like tolerance, cooperation and unity still flourish
with truly amazing results. Take this album as an example: a Polish pianist (born 1990), an Ecuadorian bassist (born 1991) and a Swedish drummer (born 1984) get together to form a classic Jazz piano trio, which is a very intimate musical partnership requiring total cooperation, in order to achieve its goal of creating music together. The fact that these musicians come from different and distant
countries and cultural backgrounds not only doesn’t stand in the way of them becoming one body and mind when playing this music, but actually reinforces their ability to create music on a higher Artistic
and Intellectual plane. Nothing short of brilliant, this album proves that melodic modern Jazz can still be rewarding and fascinating, when executed sincerely and passionately.
Listen and learn!
(Adam Baruch)

The law of attraction, in music as elsewhere, posits that like attracts like. And thus it came to be that Ecuadorian bassist Daniel Toledo, Polish pianist Piotr Orzechowski, and Swedish drummer
Paul Svanberg found each other. The Daniel Toledo Trio weds restlessness and refinement into a perfect marriage here, producing seven musical outcomes that are unpredictable in design and articulate in their expression. Atrium — an alluring tryst between light and dark, with Orzechowski’s fingers flitting to and fro, Svanberg’s sticks skittering on the cymbals, and Toledo passionately moving
and mooring — serves as the open-air entryway into this world. Then there’s Tawny, a number in five that evokes its orange-brown namesake color through a stroke of musical synesthesia;
Abridged Perspective, which starts off in a stark fashion and offers breathing room; Noa, a hotbed of rhythmic interplay that initially presents us with a serpentine maze; and Horyzont, grounded
in tribal chic and highlighting the notion of promise rising in the distance. After that all comes and goes, the album arrives at its end with Margins, a call to the wild that’s pure dynamism, and Near Focus, a sly send-off that features some of Svanberg’s hippest stick work. Isn’t it amazing what can happen when three unique, yet like-minded personalities come together to form a united front? It would appear that the law of attraction has it right.

ILL CONSIDERED - LIVE AT THE CRYPT
by ILL CONSIDERED

supported by 5 fans who also own “Atrium”

Had everyone had warning of what to expect? "Opener" set the scene for those unsure newcomers. "Long Way Home" - an apt title: what a break. Idris wanders off leaving Leon, Emre and Satin to find the way... with a joyful reunion at the end. The journeys continue through the rest of the show - Leon constantly providing that anchor around which the wonder this world - and, of course, Other Worlds - fly at their own pace. You may know of Janek Gwizdala - if not Hidden Treasures gives hints. Peter Jones

ROUTE ONE

Brilliant album! If you're a non-jazz listener who wants to give jazz a try, this might be a good choice! To cite the allaboutjazz.com review: "subtle musical moods and simple, enchanting melodies". Apart of the quality of the compositions and the playing, I especially love the sound of sax player Óskar Gudjónsson! Carsten Pieper

A real jazz epic. After several months of listening, I find myself feeling sorry for people who don't have this music in their lives. Paco
