A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
A group from Cracow, established in 2006. Since then, it has been winning the admiration of the audience with its originality, interesting combination of instruments, and what is most important, by its music that is hard to classify. The music created by Frittata is the outcome of many inspirations and often uncompromising ideas. It contains a lot of ethno or even folk, club, classical, and film music as well as jazz, while each composition has its specific, eclectic character. The group performs both in jazz clubs and at festivals throughout Poland. Frittata has also prepared a series of concerts with music inspired by popular film themes, and it performed live music for a silent film. Through its diversity, it attracts demanding listeners of many kinds of music, and Frittata concerts captivate the audience with energy, a genuine message, and great performance of its quite challenging material. In May 2010, Frittata, invited by violin virtuoso Nigel Kennedy, played at the "Wiosna Jazzowa" Festival in Zakopane and took part in "Nigel Kennedy’s Polish Weekend" at the Southbank Centre in London. One of Frittata’s tracks appeared on the compilation album called "Smooth Jazz po Polsku". The beginning of 2011 was marked for Frittata by the great honor of being invited by Dionizy Piątkowski, a leading Polish jazz authority, critic, and jazz historian, to participate in the "Era Jazzu" concert as a supporting band to the outstanding violinist, Regina Carter. Their debut album is out now!
