Reviews
“An extraordinary debut album from a trio of extraordinary musicians who have brought together a multi genre music that encompasses classical leanings (all three participants are from classically trained backgrounds), jazz, improvisation and folk song in a recording that is utterly spellbinding” – Jazzviews – Nick Lea

“These are lieder for a modern world in which echoes of the past are inescapable. If, as it happens, nothing here sounds much like jazz, it couldn’t exist without jazz, either. The clarity and subtle shadings of Zawadzki’s soprano, the handsomely shaped bass sound and calm phrasing of Mullov-Abbado, and Thomas’s reflective piano and subtle percussion work together to create a pan-national music in which elegance, economy and ardour are held in perfect balance. In its quiet way, this is one of the year’s outstanding albums.” – Richard Williams, Blue Moment blog

“Za Górami incorporates folk songs, chamber music and improvisational jazz styles to meld a mesmerizing sound.” – All About Jazz – Konstantin Rega

About

This London-based trio of longtime collaborators and friends invite audiences into a musical world—where folk, chamber music, jazz and ancient melodic traditions intertwine at Tuggeranong Arts Centre. Vocalist Alice Zawadzki is described as a folk oracle whose voice effortlessly shifts between whispered intimacy and feral power.

Joined by pianist and drummer Fred Thomas and double bassist Misha Mullov-Abbado, this trio of classically trained musicians create music that is both intricately crafted and profoundly expressive. Their debut album Za Górami received 4.5 stars from Downbeat and was named The Guardian’s jazz album of the month, praised for its, “delicate and deeply expressive sound” and “extraordinary debut”.

This performance brings to life the music of their critically acclaimed album, offering richly textured music performed with breathtaking sensitivity and dynamic power—shifting effortlessly from the most delicate moments to sweeping intensity. Audiences can expect an intimate, immersive concert featuring folk tales, improvisation, and songs gathered from Argentina, France, Venezuela, and Poland.
