„Not So Late / Because it Happens“ on CD and „Because it Happens“ on LP is the material recorded live on August 5th 2025 in London at legendary Cafe OTO. Three masters of improvisation: Mikołaj Trzaska on saxophone, John Edwards on double bass and Mark Sanders on drums. They don't use the term "improvisation," preferring instead to speak of "live composition" and the audience, who are an essential component of the concert ritual. The community created by the performers and the audience's attention influence the shape and form of the event. A concert recording can therefore be a special experience, its value often surpassing studio sterility.
The meeting of these three experienced musicians seems to be the next stage in which awareness begins to reach beyond purely technical skills. It becomes a bridge where music transforms into storytelling, a stage of breaking out of old ruts in favor of a more intimate, personal, magical image. This material encompasses diverse emotions, and beyond the shockwaves, elements of lyrical reflection emerge. It's not too late for surprises, which still occur. The artists appear in different constellations, each time daring to embark on a journey, abandoning comfort zones to rediscover themselves in the wilderness. If they discover new lands during their journey, their music will be captivating. Is that really the case? Listen for yourself.
