Digital Booklet
"It takes nerve for a young trio to create music of such stillness, such patience. The fact that these three have played together since they were teenagers is audible in the way they trust the epiphanies they collectively come upon ... an album to keep coming back to, if not for new answers, then for deeper questions." - JazzTimes.com "... an album of warm and glowing lyric beauty which belies any chilly connotations suggested by its title ... understated, regally unhurried and spacious ... regularly erupts into surging rhythmic intensity ... while this lovely music comes out under Wasilewski's name, it is impossible to imagine it being made with any other bassist and drummer, so hardwired are Kurkiewicz and Miskiewicz into a collective aesthetic ... as perfect as it gets." - All About Jazz January is a strong musical statement from a still-young band with a long history already behind it: an album with an exceptionally wide-ranging programme, all of it played with assurance, purpose and focus. In the process, January reconfirms that Marcin Wasilewski, Slawomir Kurkiewicz and Michal Miskiewicz have become an outstanding contemporary jazz trio. In addition to several original numbers, January also includes fascinating covers of Gary Peacock's Vignette, Ennio Morricone's Cinema Paradiso, Prince's Diamonds And Pearls and Carla Bley's King Korn.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
