Lukasz Pawlik plays acoustic piano, keyboards, synthesizers and brings in some sound samples as he mixes and matches with some of the hardest hitting fusion giants around, including Mike Stern/g, Tom Kennedy/b and either Gary Novak or Dave Weckl on drums. Dawid Glowczweski/as-ss, Szymon Kamykowsii/ts, all star Randy Brecker/tp and Phil South/perc round out the mix and matched set, with energetic sparks flying all over the place.
Kennedy and Weckle dig a deep rivulet for a rocking Stern as Pawlik sets the sonic stage on “Indian Garden” while he brings in some spacey effects for the guitarist on the atmospherically dark “Jellyfish”. Brecker and Stern swing hard with Glowczewski’s alto with some Weather Report biopressure on “Greg’s Walk” while a duet with Novak on “Planet X” and a trio with bassist Michal Kapczuk joining in make for a richly textured and pretty “Reflection”. Plugged in pleasures.
