Motion Trio + Mixed Bag

Hear this show now: Pop-up player!

A visit with Motion Trio founder / leader Janusz Wojtarowicz.

Motion Trio is a dazzling and innovative all-accordion ensemble from Poland that recently was in town for its NYC concert debut in a World Music Institute / Polish Cultural Institute concert at Symphony Space.

Motion Trio has two cds available in the US, Pictures from the Street and the newly released Play-Station, the latter inspired by (and incorporating – without sampling however) sounds from video games.

Special thanks to Marcin Galazyn and Pawel Baranek from Motion Trio and Gregor Rajewsky from the group’s excellent record label Asphalt Tango, who came along but didn’t go on mic; plus Tomasz Smolarski from the Polish Cultural Institute and Dmitri and Jenifer from Rock Paper Scissors.
