OUI001: Dino Massa Polish Quartet / Live in Warsaw

In the last few years Dino Massa has had an intense concert activity in the USA and throughout Europe. He played in solo performance, with his band and as a guest with local musicians. In 2016, the owner of the jazz club in Warsaw 12on14 Jazz club, Tomasz Pierchala, invited Dino to play in his club for two days with a band of polish musicians. Dino played the previous year with one of them, the bassist Pawel Puszcalo, in the same club, but he never played with the saxophonist Tomasz Grzegorski and the drummer Lukasz Zyta before. These three musicians are certainly among the best Polish musicians living in Warsaw and this group performed two remarkable concerts, one of them recorded in this album. In this session the group played some famous american standards and two of Dino’s compositions, Mari del nord (North sea) with echoes of european jazz music, and Paris, an interesting song dedicated to the famous city. The collaboration between Dino an the saxophonist Tomasz Grzegorski has continued over the years and in 2021, they played in duo at Summer jazz Festival in Krakow.
This is a “real” jazz album, where the interplay between the four musicians is the main feature of the whole project.

Dino Massa is  an active composer and professor of jazz piano at the Conservatory of Naples. He played both in Italy, in Usa and throughout Europe. He made ten disks as leader, his two last Cd are: “Echoes of Europe”, released by Usa label ARC, recorded in Usa and played by some of the best jazz player of Kansas City area and “Suite pour le piano for jazz quartet”,  released by Norway label Losen Records. 2021 released for NullaDie editions, his first novel, the thiller “L’Orchestra jazz si tinge di giallo”. He collaborated with many jazz musicians, such as: John Abercrombie, Marcus Hampton, Stan Kessler, Chris Burnett, Clarence Smith, Sigurdur Flosason, Tomasz Grzegorski, Kyron Bourke, Lukas Zjta, Shule Jovovic, Bruno Tommaso, Maurizio Giammarco and many others.
