Konrad Paszkudzki Trio - Serenade In Blue: Harry Warren Song Book '2018 [2021]

Tracks list

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 today’s 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, on Konrad Paszkudzki
