JazzKLUB / Urszula Dudziak, Big Band Śląski and guests / Nature of the bird - NOSPR

She is not just an icon, and it's not just Papaya, although thanks to the song, it turned out that jazz is no longer niche. But scat is more than that. It's like creating a language, and fusion, or more precisely jazz rock, is something even more significant, a way of life. Perhaps that's good fortune because Urszula Dudziak has a bird-like nature – she changes places and regenerates on stage. However, she has opted for more than just scat; also for perfection of intonation, expanding the scale (five octaves!) and crossing musical barriers because, as she said, she has the strength of a highlander and is not afraid of confrontation. In this case, she confronts the balladic feel of Grażyna Auguścik and the mesmerising matte of the voice of Mika Urbaniak, i.e., her daughter, and the saxophone of Grzech Piotrowski, who proves that there are no genres that cannot be fused.
