P.G.R. - Latin Fire

P.G.R. – Projekt Grzegorza Rogali, is a jazz project expressing the idea of combining cultures and musical genres. The concept includes a dialogue between Polish, Jewish and classical music. We can find out about it by listening to 4 CDs. First two albums were recorded with Israeli saxophonist Sagit Zilberman. Recent two albums P.G.R. -„Polish Psalter” take us back to the times of the Renaissance.

P.G.R. – Latin Fire is a new version of the world-jazz formation P.G.R. Cuban „clave”, hot as a volcano, calm bossa nova, as well as passionate tango. All this is contained in the compositions of Grzegorz Rogala and his guest from Cuba ‐ Regis Molina Reynaldo. In PGR music, it is always important to draw from the „source”, i.e. tradition: Polish, Israel, and now Cuba. Authentic references drive the music, fill jazz phrases and draw the audience of the concerts of the new version of the Grzegorz Rogala Project

P.G.R. received a scholarship from the Berklee College of Music twice, his music has been hosted on the UK Jazz Radio and on many music stages in the USA, Poland, Ukraine, Germany, Sweden, France, m.in.: Jazz in the Ruins, Głogów International Jazz Meetings. The White Stork Synagogue, the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Flugery Lvova, the Stockholm Jazz Festival, St. Merry church in Paris
