Maciej Obara - Frozen Silence (new album out now) | ECM Records

Maciej Obara Quartet Frozen Silence Maciej Obara: alto saxophone Dominik Wania: piano Ole Morten Vågan: double bass Gard Nilssen: drums Listen and order here: https://ECM.lnk.to/FrozenSilenceID Frozen Silence is the third ECM release from alto saxophonist Maciej Obara’s Polish-Norwegian quartet bringing the story forward from Unloved and Three Crowns - and perhaps its strongest musical statement to date. Alert interactivity is the hallmark of the group’s approach in a programme of new Obara compositions inspired by the starkly dramatic landscapes of the mountainous Karkonosze region in south-west Poland. All four players make decisive contributions to the music. The pieces optimally highlight Maciej’s intuitive musical relationship with pianist Dominik Wania, while bassist Ole Morten Vågan and drummer Gard Nilssen continually transcend rhythm section roles to inject powerful ideas of their own.
