Our Take

Polish pianist Dominik Wania's latest offering, "Lonely Shadows," is a delightful romp through the world of avant-garde jazz that will leave you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure. With influences ranging from Thelonious Monk to Radiohead, Wania creates a sound that is both familiar and completely unique.

The album kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful "Lonely Shadows," a slow-burning ballad that sets the tone for what's to come. Wania's intricate piano work is on full display here, weaving a tapestry of sound that is both soothing and dissonant.

Tracks like "Dark Night" and "Whispers in the Dark" showcase Wania's more experimental side, with off-kilter rhythms and unexpected harmonies keeping the listener on their toes. The use of electronic effects and sampling adds an extra layer of complexity to the music, creating a sense of unease that is both thrilling and unsettling.

But don't let the title fool you – "Lonely Shadows" is far from a gloomy affair. Tracks like "Sunshine Dreams" and "Dancing in the Rain" bring a sense of joy and playfulness to the album, with catchy melodies and infectious grooves that will have you dancing in your seat.

Overall, "Lonely Shadows" is a masterclass in modern jazz, with Wania's innovative compositions and virtuosic playing making it a standout in the genre. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Dominik Wania's music transport you to a world of mystery and intrigue. You won't be disappointed.
