John Stetch – piano
Frenetic jazz for two pianos! „While planning a series of concerts for the year 2007 as a part of a celebration of my 60th birthday I asked John Stetch if he would like to play a two pianos concert and he enthusiastically responded to it. We agreed over the phone on the details how to approach it and rehearsed a bit when he got to Montreal, left a lot of things open… and during rehearsal we discovered – after 20 years of not playing in the same room – that our concept of understanding piano music – jazz and in general – is quite similar. John origins are of Ukraine from Edmonton (John Stechyshyn), mine Polish from Krakow, meeting in Canada in Montreal..One could say – Long Live Slavic Soul! And that’s how in many respects this CD sounds like – while playing jazz.” (from liner notes by Jan Jarczyk)
