Za Górami

Vocalist and violinist Alice Zawadzki, pianist Fred Thomas and bassist Misha Mullov-Abbado present a rare alchemy, fusing folk idioms from a multitude of sources with free-flowing interplay and fluid structures.

Inhabiting their own stylistic realm, the trio encompasses folk song, chamber music, improvisation and acoustic jazz.

Ladino traditionals are heard alongside striking renditions of Gustavo Santaolalla’s “Suéltate Las Cintas” and Simón Díaz’s “Tonada De Luna Llena”.

The title-lending Polish traditional “Za Górami” is performed in a poignant interpretation by Zawadzki and the Renaissance piece “Je Suis Trop Jeunette” finds a kindred spirit in Fred Thomas’ monody-inspired setting of James Joyce’s “Gentle Lady”.
