about

Bessarabian Journey is released by Fundacja Słuchaj, but we decided to give you alternate takes for free. Enjoy!

It has all begun with music of Bessarabian Jews - BTW. Bessarabia is a historical region in Eastern Europe, it used to be between Dniestr and Prut rivers, where Moldova an Ukraine are now. Bessarabia is gone, and so is its music - I had to look for it in old scores and recordings. Found tunes were incorporated in modern compositions - it's jazz, mixed with contemporary improvised music.

Everything was recorded live - no editing, overdubs or studio magic of any kind was used - on March 3rd, in NInA (Warsaw, PL) and mixed by Michał Kupicz.

Our premiere performance took place in Polin Museum, Warsaw, PL, on 2016 April 14th., during New Jewish Music festival.
