We’re proud to share that our double live album “Live at Zajezdnia Kultury” — recorded with Brooklyn-based trumpeter Satish Robertson — has received a glowing review from Polish jazz portal JAZZDA.
Reviewer Robert Kozubal calls the record “one of the most interesting Polish jazz releases of the year” and “an undeniable proof of the maturity of the Krakow lineup.”
An Album of International Format
The review highlights what makes this recording stand out from the usual Polish jazz templates: instead of minor-key melancholy or contemplative nostalgia, the album radiates affirmation and drive. As Kozubal writes, it’s “vital, rhythmically flawless, combining American feeling with European discipline of form.”
Satish Robertson’s trumpet is singled out not as a guest ornament but as a catalyst — bringing a raw Brooklyn nerve, lightning-fast phrasing, and a drive that pushes the whole band into an even denser exchange of ideas.
Recorded Live at a Unique Venue
The album was captured in November 2025 at Zajezdnia Kultury in Pleszew — a restored historic locomotive shed that has become one of the most compelling examples of post-industrial revitalization in Poland, complete with railway tracks crossing the hall and a narrow-gauge line delivering the audience right to the door.
The review also praises the decision to leave the compositions in their full, uncut form, allowing the concert’s natural rise and fall to build a compelling dramatic arc across the double vinyl.
