Some people just seem to skip a few stations effortlessly. At least that's true for the 23-year-old British saxophonist and composer Emma Rawicz, who was still in the middle of her studies at London's Royal Academy of Music last year, but nevertheless tours the world with renowned colleagues, leading, composing and arranging a duo, a quartet and a big band as if there were no tomorrow. She has already won several awards, and she recorded her debut "Incantations" at the age of 19. "Chroma", her most recent work, was released in 2023 by ACT, known to be a top European address. Her songs are exquisite, her tone of an impressive confidence, the interaction with her fellow musicians somnambulistic. You can hear the energy and conciseness of the music's personality: Groove-accentuated, clear, distinctive, sometimes with associations with UK jazz heroes like Django Bates, Bill Bruford or Emma Rawicz's teacher Tim Garland, sometimes with psychedelic-spherical elements that evoke memories of British art rock, then again warm, intimate and with a haunting tone - Rawicz has pretty much everything. Chroma, Greek for color, shows the whole spectrum of an artist who has long since outgrown the status of a newcomer, as Jazzwise Magazine wrote: "Emma Rawicz is ALREADY the real deal!" Don't miss it!
