Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet Releases “Polka Worldwide Deluxe Edition”
Polish double bassist Wojtek Mazolewski has released a new album with his Quintet called Polka Worldwide Deluxe Edition. The album contains his 2014 album Polka with a new bonus track, “Theme de Yoyo”, as well as the follow-up Track, “London.” The UK capital is also where the inspiration for his album came from.
“I stumbled upon a beautiful invitation to a carnival ball. Inside was a list of dances for the guests to request; and amongst the styles, I came across a lovely-sounding word – ‘polka’ – which immediately struck me as a great album title,” he says. “So far from home, I felt many positive emotions and realized that this word can have a number of definitions, even though the polka is a Czech dance. That fascination later became prophetic, as the band features the trumpet of Oskar Torok – a Slovak living in Prague. Furthermore, a wonderful Polish woman, Joanna Duda, plays the piano alongside me. I’m very grateful to fate for allowing me to create music with such a brilliant band. Oskar, Marek, Qba, Michat, and Joanna are remarkable musical partners and fantastic people.”
