Our Take

The new album Speaking Sound by Joachim Kuhn and Mateusz Smoczynski is a delightful blend of jazz and classical influences that will have you tapping your feet and scratching your head in equal measure.

Kuhn's playful piano melodies dance around Smoczynski's intricate violin lines, creating a dynamic interplay that keeps listeners on their toes throughout the album. The duo's chemistry is palpable, with each track feeling like a conversation between old friends who just happen to be virtuosic musicians.

From the lively opener "Sonic Boom" to the hauntingly beautiful "Lost in Translation," there is not a dull moment on this record. Kuhn and Smoczynski effortlessly blend genres and push the boundaries of what is possible in a jazz setting.

While some may find the album's experimental nature a bit challenging, those willing to dive in will be rewarded with a rich and rewarding listening experience. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let Joachim Kuhn and Mateusz Smoczynski take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Speaking Sound is a must-listen for jazz aficionados and classical enthusiasts alike. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
