WINNER OF
BMW WELT JAZZ AWARD 2019
We are thrilled to inform you that Maciej Obara Quartet won the BWM Welt Jazz Award 2019 in a play-off against the Rudresh Mahanthappa Quintet. The quartet with Dominik Wania on piano, Ole Morten Vagan on bass and Gard Nillsen on drums gave a winning performance in the final round of BWM Welt Jazz Award 2019.
The jury commented: “Rusdresh Mahanthappa’s consistent and immersive combination of bebop and modern jazz informed by elements of Indian music and rock has enthralled the jury. At the same time, they were equally enchanted by the enormous amplitude of emotion, the dynamics and possibilities of expression, with which Maciej Obara and his quartet was able to surprise and fascinate its audience. Just as the lightness of his sound, the power of his composition and the spontaneity of his delicate lyrics as well as the unchained power of this outstanding ensemble’s improvisations turned the quartet into this year’s winner.”
