Krzysztof Scieranski: The Colors (2010)

Krzysztof Scieranski at the begining of his musician life, he had been fascinated by electic guitar. Most of infliuence to his playng was Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles. But once uppon a time, bass player left his older brother’s band. There was a reason for Krzysztof to try another instrument, cello’s younger brother - electric bass guitar. It was about 1973, since Krzysztof Scieranski have been found as a bass player. He starts to experiment as a member of first professional band “Laboratorium”, he was invited by Janusz Grzywacz - leader. “Experiment” is a good word that can describe all works with friens in the band.
In next years Scieranski was a member of lots of Polish best jazz bands. He was working with Zbigniew Namyslowski in “Air Condition”, Krzesimir Debski in “String Connection” (best Polish jazz band in 80’s years) and many more. He is the Number One for over 20 years on bass players list publicated by Jazz Forum year by year.
After years it’s hard to say that he is playng bass guitar. It’s better find him as a paintingtime- man, using full of colors palette. Of course, he plays four-stringed electric bass, including a special instrument: Peavey Midi Bass. It gives him additonal space by sound modules, sampler and Lexicon MamMan loopers. His performance is a voyage in time and space. Warm evening sun of India, hot and beautyfull Kalhari desert, Africa, Cuba, Middle West, and Jimmi Hendrix arrives from all the world’s corners to the palces where Scieranski is playing.
His history is very long and intresting. Over 50 records with otrer, and 10 “long-plays” and CD’s wher he recorded his own music solo and with musician friends he’ve meet on the road. Many concerts in all around the world: UK, USSR, USA, Norway, Sweden, Deuthland, Hungary, India, Indonesia and many more. Krzysztof composed a fiew songs, which are the mile-stones in Polish popular music.
First of all, he’s the only one bassist we knows, who can play concert alone (!). Using edvanced equipment like samplers, drum machines, loopers and midi-bass and of course his miracule mind and intuition with amazing instrumentalist’s technique.
Today we have trio and two quartets. In trio, except Scieranski, plays Marek Raduli on guitar and Michal Dabrowka on drums - one of the highest level jazz musician and side-mans. For last three or four years Scieranski plays quartet with Zbigniew Jakubek (keyboard), Marek Napiorkowski (electric guitar) and Michal Dabrowka (drums).

Krzysztof Scieranski: Directions (2008)

1976-80 I used to be bass player of Cracow band Laboratorium. Together with Laboratorium I recorded five 'vinyls'. 1980 Zbyszek Namys--owski invited me to his new band called Air Condition.
Together with String Connection I recorded five long-plays.1982 My first solo concert on bass was in 1982 at Solo Duo Trio Festival in Rotunda, Krakow. In 1983 I recorded my first authorial disc Bass Line.
1985 In 1985 I settled my own band – a trio with my brother Pawe-- [guitar] and Marek Surzyn, who played the drums [well, he still plays but at that time with me]. We recorded only one disc – Confusion but visited many beautiful places, to mention: Nancy, France [a city settled by Stanis--aw Leszczy--ski - a Polish king]. We also played in Germany and had a couple of great tours in Hungary. ... The beginning of the 80s was a time of my cooperation with Wolfgang Thierfeld – plays drums, sometimes drums and keyboard simultaneously [Wolfgang Thierfeld: WolfStep AnimalField].
About 3 years ago a new group settled: Zbigniew Jakubek [keyboard], Marek Napiorkowski [guitar], Micha-- D--browka [drums] and me on bass We play from time to time, recorded a disc 'live' in Opole Radio and will master it soon.
For years I've been interested in rhythms and ways of producing it. For example, the same rhythm in the same beat played by Africans is different from the one played by Brazilians. I like salsa very much (mongo santamaria, Ray Baretto, Tito Puente, Michael Camillo etc.) Whenever the occasion rises I go to African concerts (e.g. Zap Mama, Fefe) In my compositions I use African and south African virtues, connect them with traditional, even classical, one could say, harmony. I dream about going for Brazil for some time to listen and play with local musicians. ~ Krzysztof Scieranski
