Arpeggio Jazz Ensemble

Opalińska & Whates

Opalińska & Whates. Both versatile and strikingly original musicians, Mira Opalińska (piano) and Douglas Whates (bass) have performed together in many different settings-- their musical paths crossing on projects ranging from contemporary classical to European jazz--this duo emerging as the solution to a common desire to perform music with a pure, intimate dialogue. Theirs is duo of equality and balance in which both improvising instrumentalists choose neither to compete nor vai for attention, but rather expound and converse as one. Brought together by a common aesthetic--not least that music should be deeper than arbitrary patterns of notes--it is that which fuels their inspiration today; here are two musicians, each with distinctive yet complimentary voices, whose sensitive approach and evocative harmonic language combine to conjure music from an enticing palette of the subtlest hues.

There, they met the Canadian drummer Greg Smith, who used to work in the nearby dance school.
