Alina Bzhezhinska
Internationally renowned Alina Bzhezhinska, one of the leading harpists in the world today, has built a strong reputation for innovation. Having first appeared at Ronnie Scotts in 2018, supporting a sold-out tribute to Alice and John Coltrane by Denys Baptiste Quartet, Bzhezhinska returns in 2022 with new compositions, airing for the first time at her headline show at Ronnies this March.
Creating a unique sound on the harp, with layered effects and electronics. Drawing from a variety of influences, including Dorothy Ashbys Afro-Harping, Alice Coltranes spiritual outputs, Joe Hendersons free form jazz experimentation & 90s Acid Jazz and Trip Hop, Bzhezhinska (composer, band leader and founder of the HipHarpCollective) is a one-woman powerhouse on a mission to bring the harp to the fore of contemporary sonics.
With her new album, recorded in London last year with her HipHarpCollective, set for release in 2022, expect to hear the harp as youve never heard it before.
Line-Up: Alina Bzhezhinska Harp/ Electronics, Mikele Montolli Electric Bass, Adam Teixeira Drums & Joel Prime Percussion
