Basia June 4, 2010

Poland-native Basia Trzetrzelewska was introduced as a vocalist with the group Matt Bianco. She and the group’s main composer, keyboardist Danny White, departed to begin work on their debut, Time and Tide. Basia proved unique, defying categories and appealing to a wide audience. This versatility earned her two consecutive number one Billboard Contemporary Jazz albums upon the release of the follow-up, London Warsaw New York, which topped that chart for most of 1990. A more vivid portrait of the artists emerged with 1994’s The Sweetest Illusion as a more organic sound was developed, with a full band and a deeper variety of musical texture. Joining Basia and Danny on tour this spring, is a tight band of accomplished musicians including saxophonist Paul Booth, Giorgio Serci on guitar / bass, drummer Marc Parnell, and as always, Annick and Veronique Clarisse as backing vocalists.
