Gitkin biography

Gitkin’s music exists somewhere between primal, rootsy memory and distant exotic yearning — A dusty bordertown where the familiar blends imperceptibly into the enchantingly foreign. After a long and fruitful run as a bandleader with relentlessly touring party-rockers Pimps Of Joytime and a Grammy-nominated country blues collaboration with Cedric Burnside, multi-instrumentalist Brian J set out to “explore tonalities I’d never messed with,” as he puts it. It was a release from “having to write lyrics or involve my voice,” he notes, and so the (mostly) instrumental sound of Gitkin came into being. Reviews of Gitkin’s first LP grappled with descriptors, tagging it vaguely as “cinematic” and comparing it favorably with Khruangbin. True, the music is largely wordless, emotionally evocative, and guitar driven. But it possesses an alluring alchemy all its own. Gitkin’s first release, 2018’s well-received Five Star Motel, amply demonstrated his ease with earthy funk and comfortably-cut rhythm. On his new full-length release Safe Passage, the itinerant guitar slinger broadens his already rich palette with melodies informed by Greek and Middle Eastern modalities, Peruvian Chicha and Tuareg Saharan guitar styles. No gimmick, this juxtaposition of gut-bucket blues and funk low-end with unexpectedly twisting lead phrases highlights the intense flavors found in each savory ingredient. https://www.instagram.com/gitkin_music/ https://www.facebook.com/Gitkin/

  • What's interesting in Warsaw?

    Warsaw is a city with a tragic fate that survived considerable destruction, especially during World War II, when it was almost destroyed. But every time it is a city like a phoenix, reborn from the ashes. Today it is worth coming to Warsaw to see the magnificent restored palace complexes (the city center is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site), walk through the numerous temples, look into the modern Chopin Museum and interactive science centers. Tourists are also waiting for picturesque parks, jazz clubs and numerous sports facilities.
