About this album

Swiss Encounter is a nimble contemporary jazz meeting point for pianist Adam Makowicz and multi-instrumentalist James Morrison. Issued in 1989, the album sets fluent improvisation against standards and originals, with the duo’s technical assurance giving familiar material fresh momentum. Makowicz’s elegant, harmonically rich piano and Morrison’s vivid horn work create a relaxed but highly skilled dialogue, moving easily from swing feel to bluesier passages. With its mix of repertoire and spontaneous interplay, the record shows both musicians working in a concise, collaborative setting that highlights their command of jazz tradition without sounding museum-bound.
