In The Bush (1999)

Fusionband rond de Poolse pianist Andrzej Winnicki en zijn landgenoot, saxofonist Krzysztof Medyna. "Born and raised in Poland, Andrzej Winnicki and Krzysztof Medyna have been playing together for over thirty years. They bring both European classicism and a melancholy Slavic sense of melody to music that is heavily refracted through the prism of American jazz. Before moving to the United States in the late 1980s they spent years touring Europe with the award-winning group Breakwater. Medyna was also a member of In/Formation, also featuring Czeslaw Bartkowski on drums, touring extensively on double bills with ECM recording artist and Polish trumpet legend Tomasz Stanko. After releasing In the Bush in 2001 with a reformed Electric Breakwater that also included bassist Mark Egan and drummer Rodney Holmes, Winnicki and Medyna decided to unplug, forming the all-acoustic Komeda Project in 2004".
