A guest appearance at the concert in Warsaw will be made by PaweÅ‚ Kaczmarczyk from AudioFeeling Band.

„From the distance. Live In Oslo” is Loud Jazz Band’s eighth official album. The band, started by MirosÅ‚aw „Carlos” Kaczmarczyk, awarded in 2013 with the prize „Outstanding Pole in Norway” for his outstanding music achievements and promotion of the culture of both countries, is going to play for the Polish audience on October 7th. The concert will be held at TR Warszawa. On the stage at 8, MarszaÅ‚kowska Street, there will also be a guest appearance by one of the biggest young pianists - PaweÅ‚ Kaczmarczyk from AudioFeeling Band. The beginning of the event is scheduled for 8.30 pm, tickets, whose price is PLN 50, can be bought in the theatre’s box offices or online, via e-bilet.

“When thinking of a title for our new concert album, I noticed that a step back to look at what we are doing now and what we have created so far, adds a specific value to Loud Jazz Band’s music. Our music is much more mature, universal and reflective, and played with a longer perspective than just a moment’s emotion. What we hear on Live In Oslo, is a distance towards the purpose of our joint music making”, says MirosÅ‚aw Kaczmarczyk about the new album by Loud Jazz Band.

Tracks from „From the distance. Live In Oslo” were recorded on 2 May 2012 at Loud Jazz Band’s concert given during 5th Polish Culture Days in Oslo. It is the second live album recorded by the band and it summarizes what they have done so far. The concert was recorded by Håkon Aarøen, the mixdown was performed by RG Studio GdaÅ„sk, and innovative ChevyRay mastering – by  Piotr Remiszewski in the Anaconda Studio. The album, with artwork by Kuba KarÅ‚owski,  can be purchased from October 7th in Empik stores and online via iTunes and Amazon. The record label responsible for the release is Anaconda Productions and LJB Music Records.

Loud Jazz Band emerged in Poland in 1989. It was set up by MirosÅ‚aw „Carlos” Kaczmarczyk, who has also been the leading composer of the band. In 1994, the musician left Poland for Norway, where he started again, this time with other musicians. Since then, the band has been composed of five Poles, three Norwegians and a Bulgarian. So far their biggest success has been the album „4 Ever 2 U” (1994), nominated to the Fryderyk awards in “jazz” category and released by the legendary Mercury Records. Loud Jazz Band is the only Polish music band whose album has been released by this prestigious British record label (Def Lepard, Elton John, Mark Knopfler).

What Loud Jazz Band plays is contemporary jazz. The music composed by Kaczmarczyk is a combination of various music styles which share acoustic sound. What distinguishes tracks composed by „Carlos” is expressive melodies set in a diversified musical background. The source of inspiration for the Polish guitarist is Polish and Norwegian culture as well as the nature and people from both countries. While listening to Loud Jazz Band, you can hear not only classical jazz, but also some free jazz and improvised music.  All that, combined with rock dynamics and world music, makes for a unique, recognizable style.

The band is composed of: MirosÅ‚aw ”Carlos” Kaczmarczyk (guitar), Kristian Edvardsen (bass guitar), Erik Johannessen (trombone), Ivan Makedonov (drums), Wojtek Staroniewicz (saxophone) Piotr Iwicki (synthesizer), Erlend Slettevoll (piano) and Maciej Ostromecki (percussion instruments).

They have played at various music festivals in Poland and abroad, i.a. Oslo Konserthus (2012), Spirit of Burgas (2010), Jazz Jamboree (2010), Bohema Jazz Festival (2009), Jazz nad Odra (2008), Guitar City Festival (2002), Jazz na Starówce (2001).
