Inspiration – Alina Bzhezhinska Quartet

‘On Inspiration they bathe deeply in the spirit of Alice and John’s majestic, meditative music, yet also use it as a point of departure for new personal directions.’ Kevin Le Gendre

“HARPIST Alina Bzhezhinska is a Ukrainian/Polish Londoner with a soulful technique and a mission to wield her instrument in new dimensions. This debut album takes its cue from her acclaimed live tribute to jazz icons Alice and John Coltrane, performed at the Barbican last year. Supported by the same quartet of saxophonist Toni Kofi, bassist Larry Bartley and drummer Joel Prime, Bzhezhinska recaptures the magic of such mystical excursions as Journey in Satchidananda. Four terrific originals including Lemky, an ode to an exiled Ukrainian hill tribe, mark Bzhezhinska as an artist to watch.” (Jane Cornwell, Evening Standard, 29 May 2018)
