Helicopets David Dorůžka & Piotr Wyleżoł Quartet
The founder and main character of the Helicopets group is Polish guitarist and composer Adam Baran, a young musician who does not close himself off from any influence and is one of the most promising Polish creators of music touching on jazz. The “Polish quartet” of David Dorůžka and pianist Piotr Wyleżoł, made up of top and experienced players, is hardened by many years of international cooperation. Musically, the new album returns to a purely acoustic sound, combining jazz tradition with elements of folk music and brings a lyrical expression that differs from Dorůžka’s previous album Andromeda’s Mystery, which played with even rock elements. However, fans will not be deprived of any surprises in the case of the recording When the Child Was a Child either. One of them will certainly be the entry of the young accordionist Nicholas Pat, who not only took part in the recording, but will also be a guest of the quartet at the Brno concert. In terms of repertoire, in addition to original compositions, we can also look forward to a surprising interpretation of a piece by American multi-instrumentalist Sufjan Stevens.
