Joanna Duda Trio - Delighted (2025) [Hi-Res]

Joanna Duda Trio return with Delighted, a record that showcases the Polish pianist and composer’s flair for weaving intricate, shifting rhythms with memorable melodic hooks. Percussion crackles with precision, the double bass drives with looming intensity, and Duda’s piano threads between playfulness and unease, creating a sound that is both accessible and strikingly complex.

Duda’s reputation as a composer extends beyond the trio, with credits including the score for Netflix Originals’ first Polish film, ‘Erotica 2022’. Here, her writing demonstrates the same balance of subtle complexity and immediacy, pushing jazz into wider territories while retaining a bold, characterful core.

Praise for the album underlines its impact: Twisted Soul Music call it “worth the wait”, BBC Radio 3’s Soweto Kinch hails its “mind boggling time signatures”, while Polskie Radio note how Duda “transcends musical boundaries, often using jazz as a starting point for broader sonic explorations.”
