Daring improvisation, conceptual maturity, and artistic self-confidence – all that in an indecently good debut album, the 2022 Nowoświt. Amalia Umeda does not want to pretend that the violin is the saxophone, treating the characteristics of her instrument not as anything weighing her down, but as an opportunity for creating a sonic world that has not yet come to be. Full of charm, the compositions are filled with musical content of utmost significance, while the delicate folk influences add yet another colour to Amalia Umeda’s music. The greatest revelation in the Polish jazz violin of recent years.
[Tomasz Gregorczyk, translated by Mikołaj Witkowski]
