Maciej Obara Quartet feat. Mathias Eick

Description

His approach was once described by the Polish alto saxophonist Maciej Obara as follows: The themes serve merely as a blueprint, "from which our sound is unleashed." Essentially, it's more like "composing in real time." For this kind of free playing, you need collaborators who bring openness and sensitivity to what is in the air, what is possible, what can emerge from a sketch. With the pianist Dominik Wania, also from Poland, and the Norwegians Ole Morten Vågan (b) and Gard Nilssen (dr), Obara, who previously worked with Tomasz Stańko, has formed a band that weaves fine narrative structures, acts highly multifaceted, and intuitively picks up on the accents of fellow musicians. Their ECM albums demonstrate the diversity of forms and improvisational skills of the quartet. Live, they now bring a valued trumpeter onto the stage – the Norwegian Mathias Eick. The dialogues of the wind players are just as eagerly anticipated as the new dynamics created by the group's expansion.
