JazzKLUB / Marylin Mazur Group / A stunning arsenal of instruments from all over the world - NOSPR

The lucky ones, born early enough to have participated in that legendary concert, certainly remember the Danish drummer’s spectacular performance with Miles Davis’ group at the 1988 Warsaw Jazz Jamboree. Consecutive generations of fans grew up with Marilyn Mazur’s playing on Jan Garbarek’s records, a collaboration which lasted over a decade. While, paradoxically, only selected works by the New-York-born Dane with Polish roots are known in Poland, the same cannot be said about Denmark, where Marilyn Mazur is considered an institution. Her stunning arsenal of instruments from around the world makes one forget what an original drummer she is on a traditional set. The groove driving you deep into your seat provides a counterpoint for the delicate pieces permeated with the spirit of world music, a genre Mazur pioneered in the 80s. A great personality, with an arsenal of excellent accomplishment to her name, still moving forward with a youthful energy.
