Rafal Mazur

• DIGIPACK EDITION

Both altoist Keir Neuringer and acoustic bass wizard Rafał Mazur have a unique voice on their instrument, and their combined sound is even more unique: intense, warm, relentless and technically brilliant.

This album brings us a live performance at a concert in Krakow in 2018. The first track "The Distant Path", is a breath-taking 26 minutes long high energy powerhouse. Mazur alternates between arco and pizzi and Neuringer's circular breathing and repetitive phrases around a tonal center result in a mesmerising performance. The timbral quality of both instruments, their relentless forward-moving physicality and the deep emotional power of their delivery leads to something unique.
