ABOUT THE ALBUM

Established in Miami, on life support in L.A., then finally burnished in New
York City, the Konrad Paszkudzki Trios aesthetic can be summed up in three
words: mood, sizzle and swing. Their sound is classic yet timeless in its mode
of expression, captivating ardent lovers of the jazz idiom and Tin Pan Alley
tradition alike.

The focus is on standards — tunes collectively known as The Great
American Song Book. Without imposing trite gimmicks or relying on overt displays
of flash and technical wizardry, the trio stays true to the original musical and
lyrical content of the material, with an emphasis on melodic elegance and
swinging verve. The influence of Nelson Riddle, Oscar Peterson, Erroll Garner
and Ahmad Jamal can be felt and heard, but is never blatantly mimicked.

Direct, simple, yet intriguing, they improvise solo narratives with toe-tapping
nonchalant grace. There is something humble in this approach, but the attitude
with which the music is delivered is one of confident passion. The message it
carries comes across in pristine fashion — the Konrad Paszkudzki Trio
leads the way in todays world of swinging, sophisticated jazz.

He has a pearly touch, a sense of history, a sense of drama, a love of the
blues, and an elegance which is borne of high minded dedication — Wynton
Marsalis
