The Polish jazz syndrome is increasingly being attacked by projects of young musicians, for whom the synthesis of modern jazz is becoming a kind of antidote for building intricate ideas. The album "Colors" by Marek Jakubowski's quartet is a perfect example of a consistent, musical illusion, behind which is not only an excellent composer's skill, but also an excellent sound developed by talented instrumentalists. The saxophonist Marek Konarski plays with a neat improvisation building once melancholic associations, sometimes balancing on the border of strong, energetic improvisation.

'Klawo' means 'neat' in Polish, and that's a very accurate way to describe their sound, which has developed brilliantly since their debut album. There has also been a change in numbers - they were a sextet at first and have now grown into a septet. The newest member, Jakub Krzanowski, has been responsible for increased drumming intensity since he joined the band. Speaking of the sound, the trumpet evokes the spirit of the Golden Years of Polish jazz and funk. All of this gives the band’s music an unusual flow and groove, best experienced while they unleash their talents on stage.
