Michał Ciesielski - piano || Piotr Gierszewski - bass guitar || Adam Golicki - drums
„Uncompromising, almost confrontational and yet perfectly accessible throughout”
Geno Thackara, Allaboutjazz.com „Tinkering twixt fusion and prog rock, the trio—especially Golicki, who likes to play it cool before barging in on any and all of Ciesielski's finely worked architectures—shift between the two genres with fierce resolve.” Mike Jurkovic, Allaboutjazz.com "Overall, this is an excellent and interesting album and a significant step in the trio’s process of development and maturity, which I had a pleasure to follow over the years" Adam Baruch |
