“Somewhere between Charles Mingus and Johnny Greenwood there is a sound that bassist/composer Nicholas Krolak seeks.”

“A young veteran of the Philadelphia music scene. He has spent the last decade working as a side-man, experiencing new styles, and studying with the masters. Now, he has taken all he has learned and is applying it to his own artistic adventures.”

“Tracing the lineage of bebop into the contemporary, while constantly balancing the pulse of the city and the mysticism of nature: he has been described as…”

“a different kind of songwriter—perhaps a different kind of jazz musician altogether. He’s like the bass playing, modern embodiment of Walt Whitman. And, just as Whitman used his prose poems, Krolak uses his music to celebrate and also reconcile the competing and contradictory nature of the two worlds he straddles: the natural and the urban.”

====================================================================

This tour exists inside the world of PAST LIVES.

It takes shape in rooms where listening changes … where sound lingers, attention sharpens, and the space between notes matters. These are not ordinary nights. They unfold gradually, shaped by the room, the people in it, and whatever arrives in the moment.

Nothing is rushed …

Nothing is repeated …

The music is allowed to breathe, to stretch, to move time in unfamiliar ways. What happens is shared, fleeting, and difficult to describe afterward … something you feel more than remember.

If this resonates, you’re invited … to the WOLRD PREMIERE of PAST LIVES !

There’s just one catch … tickets are limited … don’t wait … see you there !

Nicholas Krolak – bass
Michael Hudson-Cassanova – sax
Meghan Stagl – voice/piano
Gustava Cortinas – drums
