„DO ŚË SÅJD” - is the newest CD album of a Polish jazz vocalist, Alicja Serowik, which is inspired by polish folk songs from the Kurpie region, where she was born. It is a continuation of an EP that she recorded in march 2016. Alicja decided to explore her cultural origins even further and to take her listeners into a new dimension – a world full of romance and nostalgy, so characteristic for Kurpie folklore. There are 11 tracks in this CD album, ten of which are based on traditional folk songs and one is an original composition by Michał Ciesielski. All songs are arranged in modern, contemporary jazz style. Alicja has invited some talented polish jazz musicians to record with her: Michał Ciesielski on piano, Krzysztof Słomkowski on double-bass, Arek Czernysh on accordion, Adam Golicki on drums, and Bonsai string quartet. The greatest challange was to combine the sublime melancholy and austerity so typical for Kurpie melodies with the freedom and creativity of jazz music. This collective managed to fuse those two in their music and present it in 11 different musical images.
