Liner Notes:
This album was recorded in Copenhagen where, even though none of us is actually Danish, our paths had suddenly crossed. The improvised music scene here is vibrant and ever changing, and our first meeting was a close call. Just as Aram was settling down after moving in from Oakland, California, and Grzegorz was packing down to move out to Cologne, Germany. Tomo & Hakon on the other hand, being respectively Polish and Norwegian, moved to Denmark long enough ago to be considered locals on the scene. You probably know the feeling when you meet someone and there is a connection right away? Now how likely is it, that it would happen with four people at once? Yet this is how we all felt about the music played. We instantly shared a collective intuition in how to shape the music, and how to find our individual voices in this conversation. In these first meetings, musicians have a choice: reveal yourself honestly with the hope of being accepted, or mask your individuality for the fear of rejection. We think we were honest with each other.
Enjoy the music Aram, Grzegorz, Tomo & Hakon

opis wydawcy:
Multikulti Project z przyjemnością przedstawia międzynarodowy skład, w którym usłyszymy polsko-duńskiego kontrabasistę Tomo Jacobsona, amerykańskiego saksofonistę Arama Sheltona (w Multikulti wydał już płytę „Dragons 1976” z 2007 roku), norwesko-duńskiego perkusistę Hakona Berre i polskiego pianistę Grzegorza Tarwida.
Zarejestrowana w Kopenhadze, w Monastic Studios płyta, wypełniona jest przez muzykę pełną pomysłów, swobody, pasji i wirtuozerii.
Porywają surowe, pozbawione zwyczajowej gładzi, faktury unisonów i improwizowane ornamentacje, zaskakuje brzmienie saksofonu Sheltona - ciemne i głębokie, ale niezwykle płynne i linearne.
Kluczem do świata wyobraźni czwórki muzyków są odwaga, prostota i swoboda. Żarliwa estetyka, wsparta solidnie na dwóch nogach - doskonałej komunikacji i warsztatowej sprawności, daje zdumiewający rezultat. Szlachetne, organiczne brzmienie zespołu sprawia, że udaje im się wprowadzić słuchacza w klimat mroczny i tajemniczy. Najmłodszy w składzie, pianista Grzegorz Tarwid, w każdym momencie najbardziej zagmatwanej improwizacji, wie, jaki dźwięk zagrać.
Dramaturgicznie przemyślana struktura płyty, od kameralistycznej narracji tytułowego "Hopes and Fears" po harmonicznie dopiętą ścianę dźwięku, w zamykającym płytę 'Ambitions and Doubts' to kolejny atut nagrania.
"Hopes and Fears" to blisko 40 minut drapieżnego i wielowymiarowego, prawdziwie współczesnego jazzu.
Dajmy się porwać muzyce kwartetu Shelton / Tarwid / Jacobson / Berre!

This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles
