Alice Zawadzki Biography
Loosely connected to the jazz world but realistically inhabiting her own realm, the critically-acclaimed vocalist, violinist, pianist and composer presents music from her latest release, Within You Is A World Of Spring. Diffracting through a greenwood canopy, Zawadzki’s poetic words and music illuminate her unique artistry and the concept behind her latest work. She leads an inspiring band of celebrated musicians in realising her extraordinary, often moving, occasionally droll, original songs: Fred Thomas (piano, drums, percussion, banjo, organ), Rob Luft (guitar), and Misha Mullov-Abbado (double bass).
“She is a genuine original” **** The Guardian
“a voice of velvet suppleness and gutsy emotional power” – The Arts Desk
"Tender in spirit and defiantly anti-genre... A cornucopia of delights."
★★★★ Jazzwise Magazine
"An awestruck hymn to nature that masters all manner of styles."
★★★★ (contemporary album of the month) The Guardian
“a major statement from an increasingly significant artist.” – Music OMH
