Genesis by Adam Baldych Quintet is first single announcing new album Portraits.

Adam Baldych and his quintet move on the border between jazz and classical music, drawing from Polish traditional music, which became a great source of inspiration for the leader and built a recognizable raw and expressive tone of the violin. His band experiments with sound, using orchestral instruments and focusing on mutual dialogue. In the most dynamic and expressive fragments, the quintet prepares the ground for eloquent silence and exposition of the nuances of its sonoristic explorations.

Adam Baldych invites exceptional artists to the "Portraits" project: pianist Sebastian Zawadzki, saxophonist Marek Konarski, double bassist Andrzej Swies and drummer Dawid Fortuna. Most of them have already collaborated with Baldych on previous albums: "Sacrum Profanum", "Legend" and "Poetry", building an organic sound of the quintet. The musicians understand each other perfectly, taking over gestures, developing ideas and complementing each other's narrative. The group is filled with harmony and understanding. In the most dynamic and expressive pieces, the Baldych quintet communicates its art with emotions, expressing the moods of the modern world and trying to portray a human being - his desires and dilemmas.

Genesis - the beginning. Of what? Changes!

At a time when the world needs more than ever a voice of peace and unity, Adam Baldych presents "Genesis" - a single announcing the exceptional album "Portraits", which is a manifesto against war, a call for peace in the world. It is an attempt to portray man and our times. Genesis is the beginning, a reminder that man is a value in itself, which must be protected. Music can convey what is difficult to express in words - in emotions, sound narrative, free and unrestrained improvisation.

Adam Baldych wraz ze swoim kwintetem porusza sie na granicy muzyki jazzowej i powaznej, czerpiac z Polskiej muzyki tradycyjnej, ktora stala sie dla lidera wielkim zródlem inspiracji i zbudowala rozpoznawalny surowy i expresyjny ton skrzypiec. Jego zespól eksperymentuje z brzmieniem, uzywajac orkiestrowego instrumentarium i stawiajac na wzajemny dialog. W najbardziej dynamicznych i ekspresyjnych fragmentach kwintet przygotowuje grunt dla wymownej ciszy i ekspozycji niuansów swoich sonorystycznych poszukiwan

Do projektu "Portrety" Adam Baldych zaprasza wyjatkowych artystów: pianiste Sebastiana Zawadzkiego, saksofoniste Marka Konarskiego, kontrabasiste Andrzeja Swiesa i perkusiste Dawida Fortune. Wiekszosc z nich wspólpracowala juz z Baldychem przy poprzednich albumach: "Sacrum Profanum", “Legend” czy "Poetry", budujac organiczne brzmienie kwintetu. Muzycy rozumieja sie doskonale, przejmujac gesty, rozwijajac pomysly i wzajemnie uzupelniajaca sie narracje. W zespole panuje harmonia i zrozumienie. W najbardziej dynamicznych i ekspresyjnych fragmentach kwintet
Baldych komunikuje swoja sztuke emocjami, którymi wyraza nastroje wspólczesnego swiata i próbujac sportretowac czlowieka - jego pragnienia i rozterki.

Genesis - to poczatek. Czego? Zmiany !

W czasie, gdy swiat potrzebuje wiecej niz kiedykolwiek glosu pokoju i jednosci, Adam Baldych przedstawia “Genesis” - singiel zapowiadajacy wyjatkowy album “Portraits”, bedacy manifestem przeciwko wojnie, wolaniem o pokój na swiecie. To próba sportretowania czlowieka i naszych czasów. Genesis to poczatek, przypomnienie o tym ze czlowiek jest wartoscia sama w sobie, która trzeba chronic. Muzyka potrafi przekazac to, co trudno wypowiedziec slowami - w emocjach, narracji dzwieku, wolnej i nieskrepowanej improwizacji.
