Michal Kaczmarczyk - Let's Take A Ride (2024) Hi Res

“Michał Kaczmarczyk, playing the guitar in a way that, I must admit, completely surprises me. An honest middle ground of jazz, without trying to be too avant-garde or trying to be too traditional. Everything should be played just like normal, classic jazz should be played!” – Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski "Three Quarters of Jazz" Trójka - Third Program of Polish Radio

“Michał Kaczmarczyk is an experienced professional who has a clear concept of his music as a composer and improviser. Plays with poise, control, great use of space and dynamics. His compositions are clear, concise, have interesting, lyrical melodies - they are very well written and clearly define his unique style" - Marek Dykta, Berklee College Of Music, Boston

The debut album of Michał Kaczmarczyk - guitarist, composer, session musician, graduate of jazz guitar at the Academy of Music in Katowice and Poznań, winner of numerous awards at prestigious jazz competitions in Poland. Prominent representatives of the Polish jazz scene - Patryk Dobosz and Mateusz Szewczyk - took part in the recording of the material.

The material was recorded in August 2023 at the WerMik studio in Warsaw. The author of the cover is Marta Kaczmarczyk - the artist's wife.

The album, which is the result of the guitarist's many musical experiences, is a reflection of his fascination with the New York jazz scene, respect for tradition and masters of the jazz genre. It is also an expression of musical openness and sensitivity, putting melodiousness, space, emotionality, elegance and subtlety in the selection of means on the pedestal of musical values. The young man on the cover is Michał Kaczmarczyk himself, who in an unobtrusive way invites you to take a ride around his world - "Let's Take A Ride".
