Sławek Jaskułke - piano

 

Sławek Jaskułke, pianist, though still young is serious player in Polish jazz. Just recently he took part as a sideman in such notable albums like "Alternations" (2008), "Bop Beat" (2009), "Nice And Easy" (2009) or "Facing The Challenge" (2011). Just few weeks ago he issued very good "Duodram" (2011) in duo with pianist Piotr Wyleżoł - highly recommended! But Jaskułke has also a significant streak of discs he recorded as a leader among which one of the most interesting is his solo album recorded during a concert in Hong Kong.

Almost every jazz pianist in Poland dreams about recording solo album since most of them were educated on Chopin compositions and they kind of consciously or unconsciously imitate romantic manner of this classical music genius pianist. Sometimes such excursions bring great jazz as was in case of Adam Makowicz or Leszek Możdżer (albums like "Chopin" or recently "Komeda"). More often such a task reveals to be too difficult. This solo disc by Jaskułke proves that his aspirations to join the elite of Polish jazz piano players are not without foundations. Highlights of this disc are: excellent version of Coltrane's "Giant Steps", wild "Ludawka" based on Polish folk music and "Chopinada" with Chopin moods first rehearsed than totally transformed in Jaskułke own, individual way. All in all it's definitely worth-checking! --- Maciej Nowotny, polish-jazz.blogspot.com

Sławek Jaskułke - fortepiano

 

This is the sixth solo album by the Polish Jazz pianist / composer Slawomir Jaskulke and his third solo piano recording. The album presents a five-part solo piano suite, composed and performed by Jaskulke, using extensive sound effects, which make the music sound unusually spacey and full of reverb and echo.

The album follows the trend of its predecessor, and pursues a clear path away from the Jazz idiom, which was Jaskulke´s initial playground, towards minimal music, characterized by repetitive patterns and ambient drone music. As much as I respect Jaskulke for his past achievements, this music does nothing to me, and in fact is quite difficult for me to listen to. The distorted sound and reverb are physically unpleasant after a few minutes getting progressively worse in time. I admit not being able to listen to the album in its entirety.

As usual in such cases, I blame myself entirely for not being able to like and appreciate this music. Jaskulke is an immensely talented musician and I hope that he´ll find his way back to Jazz at some point in his life, wishing him all the best with whatever path he chooses to follow. ---adambaruch.com

 

Najpierw oddajmy głos samemu pianiście: „Jest to muzyka programowa, czyli ilustracyjna. Chodziło mi nie tyle o płytę jazzową, ale ilustracyjną, starałem się stworzyć plastyczny obraz morza”. Tak Sławek Jaskułke określił założenia płyty „Sea”. I rzeczywiście, nie jest to album sensu stricto jazzowy. A przynajmniej nie w tradycyjnym rozumieniu tego, czym jest jazz. Jeśli już na siłę szukać skojarzeń w świecie jazzowym, to zapewne tej muzyce najbliżej by było do solowych koncertów Keitha Jarretta.

Przede wszystkim jednak do głowy przychodzą tu minimaliści z Philipem Glassem na czele. Sposób realizacji fortepianu (lekko rozmytego pogłosem) przywodzi też na myśl niektóre płyty twórcy i mistrza ambientu – Briana Eno. Zwłaszcza statyczne dźwięki otwierające Sea V mogą przywodzić na myśl tego angielskiego muzyka i producenta.

„Sea” jest może albumem minimalistycznym, repetytywnym, ale nie znaczy to, że nie jest interesujący. Sławkowi Jaskułke udało się stworzyć mieniące się dźwiękowymi blaskami struktury melodyczno-rytmiczne oddające potęgę i zmienność morza. Jest w tej muzyce jakiś spokój, pogodzenie się z ogromem i bezwładem żywiołu, nad którym nie mamy żadnej władzy. Ta muzyka jest bliska naturze, zarówno tej na zewnątrz nas, jak naszej, ludzkiej, będącej reakcją na to, co nas otacza.

To piękna, relaksująca płyta, która powinna trafić do każdego otwartego na dźwięki człowieka. ---Marek Romański, jazzforum.com.pl
