about

"Segments" is debut album by band Algorhythm.

Algorhythm is an open approach to the improvisation. The melodious phrases mixed with the non obvious rhythmics. Mathematics and metaphysics. The geometry of water. The Algorhythm band was founded in 2013. From the very beginning of its existence, its creative work binds together different ideas, music trends and personalities. The only changeless determinant of its creative activity is a free artistic expression. While the band’s name it’s a symbolic word - symbol It relates to a concept of algorithm which is commonly used in every area of the contemporary live. So it’s the music of Algorhythm; it reflects everyday emotions and thoughts of modern man.

" This is the debut album by the young Polish Jazz quintet Algorhythm, which comprises of trumpeter Emil Miszk, saxophonist Piotr Chęcki, pianist Szymon Burnos, bassist Krzysztof Słomkowski and drummer Sławomir Koryzno. It presents seven original compositions, five by Burnos and two by Miszk.

The classic Jazz quintet setting and the music are all well within the mainstream Jazz tradition, presenting modern, vital and interesting European version of the standard Jazz idiom, as usual drenched in the Polish lyricism and melancholy, which characterizes Polish Jazz. The compositions are well rounded and definitely non-trivial, with many odd rhythmic patterns; with altogether create an interesting listening experience. Personally I think the two compositions by Miszk are the best on the album, but the ones by Burnos do not fall far behind. The dynamic development and atmosphere of these pieces is quite remarkable.

All three soloists perform splendidly and play several impressive passages and the rhythm section does a superb job supporting them all the way through, handling the complex rhythms elegantly and flawlessly. Again Chęcki seems to be the most impressive soloist on this album, but his colleagues are all gifted musicians and in time are sure to join the ranks of top Polish Jazz players.

This is definitely an impressive debut, which deserves praise and support and as always makes me wonder how such young people are able to produce such mature and well developed music. Well done indeed!"
