'New Focus' - Konrad Wiszniewski
Showcasing Scottish National Jazz Orchestra saxophone star Wiszniewski’s ravishing tone and inventive, soulfully communicative playing and Stevenson’s elegant, coolly considered pianism, the quartet is completed by a rhythm section of conspicuous assurance in Mario Caribe on double bass and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra’s drums and percussion dynamo, Alyn Cosker. "Luscious moments as jazz quartet and string quartet entwine...a highly organic and lyrical collaboration" The Scotsman “There’s something truly special going on in the musical minds of saxophonist Konrad Wiszniewski and arranger, composer and pianist, Euan Stevenson...Original music that exists virtually in a world of its own...What’s so thrilling about listening to this nonet is the way all the parts move and work together, creating a melodic, harmonic and rhythmical swell that’s aesthetically pleasing and then some but also, in essence, just plain damned heart-lifting." The Herald Expect superbly accessible, hauntingly memorable jazz for the 21st century.Date: 20/05/17
