Komeda jest dumny z wykonania Planski też piękne Mozder Miler Sopen niema granic !

[worcestermark]

Still quite unbelievable beauty in the performance here, no matter how often I listen. Leszek and Marcin Wasilewski are a pair without peers in the world of jazz piano these days.

[adamwojciechowicz]

Niesamowite połączenie. Marcus Miller i Leszek Możdżer. Muzyczna niespodzianka dużego kalibru. Od razu powstaje pytanie co z tego wyniknie ? Muzyka nie zna jednak granic, jakkolwiek banalnie to brzmi.

[Nosttre]

To nie jest granie, to muskanie i pieszczenie klawiszy, niesamowite!

[adampodlesny]

super akcenty i to "coś" pomiędzy nutami Możdżera-poezja

[rhplus]

Markus to chyba pierwszy raz w takich klimatach jak w pierwszym utworze. Dalej już ciężej się te dwa style kleiły.

[froginek]

chciałem coś napsać Marcus i Leszek i tyle ;)

[PrzeoryszaCelina]

Marcus już nic nie musi udowadniać, że jest przekoniem - jedynie może

[kmar]

Why aren't all the names of all of the musicians mentioned? There's a whole band on the podium.

[bronco]

Czy wie ktoś może coś na temat tego Steinway'a, na którym gra Możdżer? Czy to jego prywatny? Kto go stroił na ten koncert? Bardzo precyzyjnie nastrojony górny rejestr.

[SrChalice]

18:18 reminds me of one of his earlier songs, Ethiopia :)
