“Zawadzki's larynx is a supple, expressive, rousing delight, it's harmonic flexibility tested by folkloric tales sensually scored by the Amika string quartet...as maverick as Fever Ray or Joanna Newsome. Expect the unexpected"

★★★★ - MOJO Magazine

“a major statement from an increasingly significant artist.” – Music OMH

​

Loosely connected to the jazz world but realistically inhabiting her own realm, the critically-acclaimed vocalist, violinist, pianist and composer, Alice Zawadzki presents music from her latest release, ‘Within You Is A World Of Spring’, as well as new, previously unheard songs. Declamations and reveries diffract through a greenwood canopy of sound, spurred on by Alice’s inventiveness and “whimsical hyper-creativity” (MOJO Magazine). She leads an inspiring band of celebrated musicians in realising her extraordinary, often moving, occasionally mercurial original songs: Fred Thomas (piano, drums, banjo), Rob Luft (guitar), and Misha Mullov-Abbado (double bass), as well as Amika - the improvising string players from the original recording – Simmy Singh, Laura Senior, Lucy Nolan, and Peggy Nolan.
