Paweł Brodowski, Jazz Forum (Poland) for EUROPE JAZZ MEDIA CHART - APRIL 2021:

MICHAŁ TOMASZCZYK AND PETTER OLOFSSON: Sketches From The North (MT001)

“Sketches From The North” is a beautiful first album recorded by the Polish-Swedish duo of Michał Tomaszczyk playing trombone and Petter Olofsson on acoustic bass. They are both members of the Norrbotten Big Band, one of Europe’s best jazz orchestras today. In his comments on the album’s sleeve, the big band’s leader, great saxophonist Joakim Milder, stresses the conversational character of the music and inspired interplay between both players. But in fact it is Michał Tomaszczyk, who is the dominant force – he is the composer of the music, except one pieces that is pure improvisation. Tomaszczyk is a trombone virtuoso, he has a gorgeous tone, playing his melodic themes and improvising with ease and fluidity, with Petter Olofsson providing mostly rhythmic foundation and harmonic context (plus occasional, brief and to the point, solos). The overall mood of this friendly duo project is pensive, melancholic, reflecting the Northern moods and spaces. The latest hot news is that Michał Tomaszczyk has just received three nominations in all three jazz categories of Fryderyk – Poland’s equivalent of Grammy – Jazz Artist of the Year, Jazz Debut of the Year and Jazz Album the Year! Congratulations!
