______________Vocalist-arranger-composer______________

Karolina Glazer is recognized as the rising star of Polish jazz vocalism. She specializes in an instrumental approach to voice and directs a lot of her attention to scat improvisation. Karolina is a vocalist, composer, arranger and producer. In 2007 she represented Poland in an International Jazz Vocalists Contest „Lady Summertime” in Finland. In July’s edition of an American monthly she was recognized as one of the five most promising vocalists in the world. She was the first Pole to win such laurels. In 2003 she became a winner of XXX International Jazz Vocal Meeting in Zamość – that was when she began her musical career. ________________________________________________________________________________ She experiments with the sound of her vocal by using her great imagination and a 4-octave scale. She is giving concerts with her bands, which includes the most prominent musicians of young generation. Her concerts are always a trip to a different area of music. Among her various interpretations we can find such standards as Route 66, thanks to which she took part in the semi finals of Sopot’s Top Trendy 2006 competition, as well as her own compositions. One of her own songs was included on a CD called ,,The Best of Polish Smooth Jazz” vol. 2. ________________________________________________________________________________ Her music is supernatural. The sounds she creates and sings are so exceptional and carry a tender form and energy.Karolina Glazer – one of the most original vocalists of the recent years. For some she is a rising star of Polish jazz; for others, a person who cannot be placed in any musical convention, who created her own individual world. However, everybody unanimously defines her tracks as heavenly. Her voice calms down, forces to stop in this rushed world and reflect upon the most important aspects. And so is her single and the clip announcing her debut record. “Prayer” lets us take a breathe and magnetizes. On the other hand, we can hear her other tracks filled with passion and energetic rhythms which cannot let you be seated all the time. Karolina mixes Arabic scales with Latin sounds, drum’n’base with jazz. She calls herself “a white woman with a white voice” observing the world and its sounds. It gives her inspiration and a sense for her musical search, and makes her the citizen of the world. Studying the musical cultures of the world is her passion; you can hear it in an every sound she sings. ________________________________________________________________________________ A concert of Karolina Glazer’s NORMAL Quintet is a journey across various cultural spots of the world combined with harmony and jazz tradition. She strives towards NU JAZZ; drum’n’base connected with Arabic scales, Latin salsa with innovative sounds and house beat joined with jazz improvisation. Karolina Glazer as a composer and arranger of her concerts is not afraid of style diversity which she thinks is her advantage and easily mixes African rhythm, Arabic scales, Scandinavian spaces and white jazz vocalism. Her concerts are pure eclecticism and a trip through her world of inspirations. In her music you can find influences of such Polish musicians as: Krzysztof Ścierański or Bernard Maseli. Years spent in their company, performing together on numerous concerts and cooperating on different recordings affected on the openness of her music which cannot be pigeonholed as one particular genre. She is a second Polish vocalist (after Urszula Dudziak) who treats her voice so instrumentally that during the concerts she only sings songs composed with a real time voice. Thanks to the digital instrumental system Karolina puts different tracks on each other creating by this a sort of choir. Young and amazing musicians are her very important advantage. Each of them is a representative of a different musical trend; together they create a new, energetic and often hectic quality which heads towards nu jazz. ________________________________________________________________________________ Karolina collaborated with such an outstanding musicians as Krzysztof Ścierański, Bogdan Hołownia, Bernard Maseli, Zbigniew Jakubik and Marek Raduli.
