Jazz Voyager

It’s been a few years since the Jazz Voyager has been on the other side of the Atlantic but this week begins the tradition anew. I’ll be heading across the pond to experience a new city and a new venue. The city is Warsaw, the country is Poland, and the venue is Jassmine. It is an intimate place that fills the gap, embodying the history of a genre that has always neatly balanced on the thin line between elegance and freedom, concentration and element, reflection and downright ecstatic fun.

An old favorite alto saxophonist Vincent Herring will be performing tomorrow night who I haven’t seen in more years than I care to remember. With Joris Dudli the two musicians recall their long and fruitful collaboration with their latest, highly anticipated release Soul Chemistry. Together with rising star Erena Terakubo on saxophones, New York masters Gary Fisher on piano and Essiet Essiet on bass, this group has the perfect chemistry to create the intense, always soulful jazz of today.

The venue is located two floors below the intersection of Koszykowa and Wilcza, at Wilcza 7300-670. For more info go to https://notoriousjazz.com/event/vincent-herring-soul-chemistry.
