Three Crowns by Maciej Obara Quartet (ECM 2662) was released on October 25, 2019. The quartet boasts a 50/50 complement of Polish and Norwegian jazz artists.

Maciej Obara / Alto Saxophone
Dominik Wania / Piano
Ole Morten Vågan / Double Bass
Gard Nilssen / Drums

From Thom Jurek's review on AllMusic:


Three Crowns is subtle, elegiac, and atmospheric. It is fully engaged. The musicians effortlessly express whole ideas from harmony's fragmented ghost traces, resulting in a beautifully articulated statement from a massively talented young band.

A highlight of the album is their 10-minute tribute to Tomasz Stańko, titled Mr. S.

The group will be touring in support of the album through February, so if you are at any of these places, you can arrange to see them in person:

January 16
Arsenal (Metz, France)

January 17
Domicil (Dortmund, Germany)

January 18
Unterfahrt (Munich, Germany)

January 19
Pfleghofsaal (Langenau, Germany)

February 09
Jazz Jantar Festival (Gdansk, Poland)
