Opis wydawcy:
Chord Nation is a jazz orchestra suite written by Nikola Kołodziejczyk as a commission from Jazztopad Festival 2010. It is a 70-minute piece for 27 highly skilled musicians that takes on enjoyment of rhythm and harmony and broadens the jazz orchestra idiom

Nikola Kołodziejczyk (born 1986 in Poland) is constantly searching for new ways to merge music from different sources using his charisma as a leader or his cooperative skills to help develop new music - no matter if they are tunisian oud and kanun virtuosos Amine et Hamza, european jazz orchestra like Concept Art Orchestra Katowice or Regensburg Jazz Orchestra, or a finnish filmmaker. Currently teaching at Academy of Music in Katowice he put together a band of great individuals willing to play something different - named Nikola Kołodziejczyk Orchestra. Composing, playing piano and/or conducting for this orchestra has led to creation of Chord Nation suite - commissioned by Jazztopad Festival 2010. Recently he was selected for Metropole Orkest Arrangers Workshop 2013 to arrange for Richard Bona.
