JazzKLUB / Marcin Masecki Trio / Thelonious Monk’s New Incarnation

„He’s got time!” is what Tomasz Stańko used to say about Thelonious Monk, but he could just as well say the same about Marcin Masecki. „He has time” – meaning that he is its master, stretching it or condensing it, with disregard for any rules whatsoever, except those he created himself. Monk felt the basic dimension of reality and expressed it in his music unlike anyone else – so it is with Masecki. The artistic kinship between the two artists is striking, with their special sense for timing enhanced by the propensity for dissonance, so characteristic for both. They could not meet – Monk passed away in February of 1982 and Masecki was born in September the same year. In the concert, however, the Polish pianist is going to converse with his American predecessor. And there is so much they have to say to one another.

AUKSO x Marcin Masecki

We won't judge – going to this concert, do you want to listen to Mozart or Masecki more? Marcin Masecki is well-known to audiences of many musical genres. He owes his popularity to such projects as Jazz Band Młynarski-Masecki or his collaboration with the majority of artists on the Polish jazz and pop scene, including Tomasz Stańko, Michał Urbaniak, Wojciech Waglewski, or Reni Jusis. The artist regularly surprises audiences with further experiments that are head-turning for some and a delight for others. At a recent concert for the Polish Radio Orchestra's season finale, Masecki was to perform Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto. Asked just before he went on stage whether he intended to play 'normally or his way', he replied that this remains to be seen. Is there a place for jazz improvisations in Mozart concertos? Will Marcin Masecki make another joke this time and, to everyone's surprise, play by the book? Looking only at the event programme, it is not entirely clear what to expect. This is a concert you have to attend! Szymon MaliszewskiConcert duration: approximately 80 minutes
