Issued on BBE Music, “Reflections” is the new album by London-based harp player and composer Alina Bzhezhinska, alongside her HipHarpCollective.

Following up her critically acclaimed debut album “Inspiration” (Ubuntu 2018), Bzhezhinskaputs together a second long-player, collaborating with British jazz stars Tony Kofi(Saxophones), Jay Phelps (Trumpet), Julie Walkington (Double Bass) and vocalist VimalaRowe, strongly supported by international talents Mikele Montolli (Electric Bass), Joel Prime(Percussion), Adam Teixeira (Drums) and Ying Xue (Violin & Viola).

Alina creates a unique sound on the harp with layered effects and electronics, combining original works and covers to pay homage to some of jazz, funk and hip-hop’s greatest innovators. Throughout the record, she draws from a variety of influences, including the likes of Dorothy Ashby’s ‘Afro-Harping’, Alice Coltrane’s spiritual outputs, Joe Henderson’s free-form jazz experimentation, 90s Acid Jazz and Trip-Hop.

“This album is very vibrant and reflects directly on London’s multicultural community. We had so much fun making this recording – it truly built up our morale in the middle of the pandemic and I hope our fans will feel this energy too.

For ‘Reflections’ I tried to break from any stereotypes and limitations – what you hear is my own choice of sounds and influences, taken from the many mixtapes I’ve been making since I was a teenager. I put together the music I like to listen to when I am happy or sad when I feel like dancing or meditating. The tunes we play are my own reflections on what I love the most – a free spirit, courage, innovation and all the beautiful things life gives us.

I hope our music can reach people’s hearts and evoke all the spectrum of colours and emotions that only the arts can do.” – Alina Bzhezhinska

Reflections is released on double LP vinyl, limited edition CD & digital formats.

Ahava (WPAA TV Session)

Written in fall 2021 after completing my first cross-country road trip and seeing a different side of the US for the first time as an adult (drove to LA & back to spend a summer in LA prior to deciding to make the move). I both revisited and discovered lots of Western & "desert"-inspired music on the drive, from Sonny' Rollins’ "Way Out West" to assouf/"Desert Blues". This composition emerged from these experiences visiting one-street towns for the first time, long listening sessions, and views of the open road, especially driving through the stunning desert landscapes in the western US.
