You probably missed the limited UK screening of the film Le Roi Danse. It is a film about the historical relationship between Louis XIV and his superintendent of music, Jean-Baptiste Lully over four decades of the 17th century. As one might expect, most of the music is by Lully himself and is intended for choreographed dancing drawn from his early ballets de cour, his highly entertaining middle-period comedic-ballets and finally his propagandistic tragedies lyriques.

With this album, Reed Connection Trio artists pay tribute to Zielona Góra – a city with which they have been associated for years as members of the Zielona Góra Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as organizers and participants of chamber music festivals and concerts there. The album contains three Phonographic premieres of songs dedicated to the band – their authors are composers associated through creative, artistic and pedagogical activities with Zielona Góra. The author of the fourth composition is the patron of the Philharmonic. None of the works are closely related thematically to the Green Mountain, but they have a universal sound. Each has a different character – you can hear in them cheerful melodies that could illustrate an animated film, sarcastic humor, raw, transparent texture and echoes of serialism, up to unconventional techniques of sound extraction. The musicians find themselves in this multicolored matter perfectly, not only confirming the reputation of the band with several decades of tradition,but also showing the full expressive possibilities of the trio.
