Konrad Paszkudzki Trio "Putting On The Ritz".

A dazzling celebration of timeless American standards, sophisticated piano jazz and the irresistible elegance of classic swing.

With Putting On The Ritz, the remarkable pianist Konrad Paszkudzki pays tribute to the extraordinary musical legacy of Irving Berlin, one of the most celebrated composers in the history of American popular music. Accompanied by bassist Dylan Shamat and drummer Dag Markhus, he brings fresh inspiration, refined musicality and infectious rhythmic vitality to a collection of unforgettable melodies from the Great American Songbook.

Renowned for his elegant touch, impeccable sense of swing and exceptional melodic sensitivity, Konrad Paszkudzki has developed a distinctive piano style deeply rooted in the great jazz traditions. His playing combines the sophistication of Oscar Peterson, the lyrical charm of Erroll Garner and the rhythmic finesse of Ahmad Jamal, while maintaining a musical personality entirely his own.

Throughout this captivating recording, the trio explores thirteen magnificent compositions by Irving Berlin, including "Puttin' on the Ritz", "Cheek to Cheek" and "Let's Face the Music and Dance". Their interpretations reveal a wonderful balance between melodic refinement, spontaneous improvisation and effortless swing. Dylan Shamat's expressive bass lines and Dag Markhus's subtle, dynamic drumming provide the perfect foundation for Paszkudzki's sparkling piano performances.

From intimate, romantic passages to vibrant moments of joyful musical interplay, Putting On The Ritz captures the timeless charm of sophisticated acoustic jazz. Every performance reflects the trio's remarkable chemistry and their shared passion for preserving the beauty and vitality of the American songbook.

Presented in a prestigious Japanese Venus Records limited edition on two 180 g vinyl LPs, this recording belongs to the Venus Masterpiece LP Collection. Mixed and mastered by Tetsuo Hara using the renowned Venus Hyper Magnum Sound Direct Mix Stereo process, this exceptional release comes in an elegant gatefold jacket complete with its traditional Japanese OBI strip.

A magnificent addition to any collection of piano jazz, classic swing and exceptional Japanese audiophile vinyl editions.
