The half Polish, half Norwegian quartet under the direction of the spirited alto saxophonist Maciej Obara is currently gaining in importance as one of the most exciting groups on the contemporary jazz scene. Both the band and their ECM debut "Unloved" were awarded the Fryderyk Prize in Poland in 2018, and in early 2019 the Obara Quartet also took first place at the BMW Jazz Awards in Munich Now Three Crows (named after the Trzy Korony Mountains in southern Poland), the second ECM album of the quartet, will be released. The programme includes six new pieces by Maciej and two free arrangements of compositions by Henryk Górecki (1933-2010).
