Ircha is an instrumental quartet of four personalities - musicians and improvisors using different types of clarinet - from the classical Bb clarinet to the less popular bass clarinet. The project was brought to existence by Mikolaj Trzaska who comes from Trójmiasto. He is a saxophonist and clarinet player, one of the leading personalities on the Polish yass stage, co-founder of the Milolosc and Loskot bands. Presently he is a leader of the international trio Volumen, member of numerous formations - among others teh Bassisters Orchestra and Shofar performing Jewish music. He played with many free jazz world stars, such as Peter Brotzman, Ken Vandermark or Peter Friis Nielsen.
Waclaw Zimpel is one of the leading musicians declared as a revelation appearing on the Polish jazz stage in the last few years. His Polish-American-Ukrainian album "Four Walls" was evaluated by Diapazon.pl as the most important jazz record of 2008. Zimpel is a co-founder of the Emergency and The Light bands. Pawel Szamburski is a leader of the great Meritum band and the author of the round of events "Djazzpora". He is also a film, theatre, silent film and contemporary dance music composer. Michal Górczynski is a musician, composer, author of installations and radio programs, co-founder of the Kwartludium band specializing in performance of contemporary music.
The main idea of Ircha is to present a contemporary view on the Jewish music in Poland, which is the artistic inspiration of each of the musicians. The group's objective is to find a common ground for the traditional Chasid music and contemporary jazz. The group's repertoire includes magic pieces of unknown Ukrainian and Polish composers, accompanied by their own compositions and extensively built-up improvisations. |
