Info for Hold Your Fire
"Ed Partyka and Julia Oschewsky make music that is original and unique. To put it in a nutshell: Is there another singer who writes profound, probing, singable songs about life and love, arranged for a thoroughly modern, 18-piece jazz ensemble with an amplified low instrumentation of tuba, bass trombone, baritone saxophone and contrabass clarinet? [...]
As fans know, Hold Your Fire is their fourth album, preceded by two other recordings as co-leaders, Hits (2014) and Kopfkino (2017), and Partyka's In the Tradition (2018), on which Oschewsky contributed on two tracks. Their musical acquaintance dates back to 2008, when Julia played in the Bundesjugendjazzorchester BuJazzO, which Partyka led. When Julia sang "Time" by Tom Waits, Ed was blown away.
"She sang it so great that I put a little tick next to her name in my head," he recalls. "When my vocalist left the band in 2012, Julia was the first person I thought of." They've been working together ever since." (Paul de Barros)
