LESZEK MOŻDŻER picture
Leszek Możdżer(pronounced Mozhdzher) is one of the greatest keyboard talents on the Polish music scene today. Born in 1971, he has been playing the piano since he was five. He graduated from the Stanislaw Moniuszko Conservatory in Gdansk in 1996, having developed his interest in jazz at the age of 18 at high school. He started his jazz career by joining the band of clarinet player Emil Kowalski, but he considers that his true development began with the Milosc Band in 1991. A year later, he received an individual citation from the Jazz Junior ‘92 International Competition in Krakow, followed immediately by many other prizes, including the Krzysztof Komeda Prize 1992 from the Polish Culture Foundation, the First Prize of the International Jazz Improvisation Competition in Katowice in 1994, the Mateusz Swiecicki Prize from Polish Radio 3, the Mayor of Gdansk’s medal for outstanding artistic achievements, and the Fryderyk Prize read more...

LESZEK MOŻDŻER Komeda

Album · 2011 · Third Stream
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
snobb
This album is attractive even with just its concept - leading Polish modern pianist Leszek Mozdzer plays the compositions of the godfather of Polish modern jazz, Krzysztof Komeda (even if only a few people outside of Poland knows Komeda's name, I believe a lot of people around the world know his music from the soundtracks of Polanski's films 'Rosemary's Baby', 'The Fearless Vampire Killers', 'Knife in the Water' or 'Cul-de-sac').

All the compositions on this albums are Komeda's and Mozdzer plays them with characteristic lyricism and melancholy. Being first a classically trained pianist, he has played jazz for years, but very often in his music you can hear his classical background.

This album's musical material is excellent and Mozdzer uses it carefully (but with a lot of improvs - Komeda's tunes are only a starting point here). The sound and atmosphere are quite different from Komeda's originals. Komeda was known not only as great composer, but also known for his angular and quite nervous sharp playing as well. Mozdzer's acoustic piano album is much more lyrical, melancholic, and not so energetic, but often dreamy and even polished - a true Mozdzer reading.

Possibly there is no real need to compare both musicians - they are just different. It's just great that Mozdzer for his debut on ACT label chooses Komeda's music (another great Polish jazz musician, Tomasz Stanko, released an album with Komeda's compositions on ECM some years ago as well). For everyone attracted by this release I would really recommend you find one of Komeda's original albums ("Astigmatic" from 1966 is the best).
