“A genuine original” – John Fordham, The Guardian
Singer, violinist, and composer Alice Zawadzki was born in 1985 to an English linguist mother and Polish historian father, and is one of six children. Having studied and built her musical foundation in Manchester, she now resides in London, where she continues her inquisitive and collaborative creative journey.
“Loosely connected to the world of jazz, but realistically inhabiting her own realm” (Clash Magazine), her creative output is an intricate tapestry of influences and exploration, finding home in the peripheries of the contemporary classical, jazz, art-pop, and folk worlds – “all propelled with a voice of velvet suppleness and gutsy emotional intensity” (The Arts Desk).
Za Górami is Alice’s debut album for ECM, and re-unites her with long-term collaborators in “a ‘supergroup’ trio of mesmerising intensity” (London Jazz News). This project shows their rare alchemy, fusing folk idioms from a multitude of sources with free-flowing interplay and fluid structures, chamber music, improvisation and jazz, combining the full span of the trio’s reach in a mesmerizing whole.
