SUMMARY:ANDY MIDDLETON QUARTET (US/PL/CZ)
DESCRIPTION:THE ANDY MIDDLETON QUARTET performs original\ncompositions that combine world music and European influences with the authentic feel of hard-swinging contemporary New York City jazz. Each composition takes the listener on a melodic journey through a landscape of deep harmonic colors and vibrant rhythms. \nAndy Middleton – Saxophones\nPiotr Wyleżoł – Piano\nTomáš Baroš – Acoustic Bass\nAlan Jones- Drums \n*tickets: 55/60 pln \n \nANDY MIDDLETON is one of the top-tier saxophonists and jazz\ncomposers living in Europe today. “One of the strongest tenor and soprano saxophonists on the scene\,” says Randy Brecker\, Andy is a skilled improviser and composer whose breadth of expression ranges from fierce power to tender warmth\, from lyrical beauty to rhythmic drive\, which sounds contemporary and fresh while retaining a real sense of the saxophone lineage. His compositions\, harmonically modern and melodic yet clearly rooted in the jazz tradition\, provide the perfect setting. \nMiddleton’s unique voice as a player\, arranger and composer has led jazz icons such as Ralph Towner\, Kenny Wheeler and David Holland\nto collaborate with him. He has also performed and recorded with a long list of artists including Billy Hart\, Maria Schneider\, Richie Beirach\, Renee Rosnes\, Randy Brecker\, Bob Mintzer\, Ron\nMcClure\, Bill Evans\, Lionel Hampton\, Joey Calderazzo\,\nJohn Abercrombie\, Steve Rodby\, Scott Colley and Adam Nussbaum. \nMiddleton has received numerous prizes and awards\, among them\nFirst Prize\, Best Soloist\, Best Arranger at the 13th Europ’ Jazz Contest\, Belgium (1991) as well as Outstanding Jazz Soloist in Down Beat Magazine (1987). \n“… solos that demonstrate the absolute mastery of his saxophones\, in\nemotional and technical terms. Every note hits the mark\, but also reveals the notable feature of leadership\, that nothing is done halfway.” All About Jazz Italy \n \n \nwww.andymiddleton.com\n\nAward winning Polish jazz pianist and composer Piotr Wyleżoł is praised as “One of Europe’s most prodigiously talented pianist in Europe” (Jazz&Blues\, London).

Music that fascinates from the first note. In thevrecording you can feel the concert spontaneity and intuitive understanding of the musicians. Beautiful compositions and\ncreative improvisations make each song an extraordinary listening experience” – Jacek Brun\, (Jazz-fun.de). \nwww.piotrwylezol.com \nTOMÁŠ BAROŠ is one of the top bassists in the Eastern European music scene.
