Zohar

Leszek Możdżer, Lars Danielsson, and Zohar Fresco celebrate 20 years as one of jazz’s most celebrated trios with Beamo—an album that reaffirms their artistry while boldly venturing into new tonal territory. Central to this groundbreaking work is Możdżer’s use of three differently tuned pianos (A = 440 Hz, A = 432 Hz, and a decaphonic scale), reshaping traditional tonality into something intriguingly unstable yet profoundly beautiful. Danielsson’s double bass and viola da gamba weave these tonalities into a cohesive, resonant whole, while Fresco’s intricate rhythms glisten with depth and brilliance.

Polish pianist Leszek Możdżer, a longtime star in his home country, spreads his fame worldwide with Polska, recorded with musical soulmates Lars Danielsson, one of the best jazz bassists in the world and Israeli percussionist Zohar Fresco. The sound on Polska is as much a product of these two musicians as creative mastermind Możdżer himself. Polska's grand finale is a version of Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" featuring the Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
