Grzegorz Karnas Trio feat. Miklós Lukács Vanga
The material on Vanga is my contribution to what I hope for the future of personalized expression in singing to be. The rhythm section I chose to build this musical idiolect with consists of the artists I’ve been working with for a decade now. The participation of Miklós Lukács, whom I let into my trio’s ”marital bed” for the second time in the past three years, was again designed to be a Hungarian cherry on my Polish pie. Enjoy!
