Current issue of Japanese JAZZ LIFE Magazine about

Current issue of Japanese JAZZ LIFE Magazine about „Agma”:

“Polish guitarist Szymon Mika brings together a remarkable international lineup – with Korean vocalist Song Yi Jeon, Slovakian trumpeter Oskar Török, Polish bassist Andrzej Święs, and Hungarian drummer Peter Somos. All compositions are Mika’s originals, blending clean-toned guitar work with moments of distortion and delicate acoustic textures. The standout presence of Song Yi Jeon, known for her masterful scat singing, adds a deep emotional layer to the sound. Highlights include the voice-guitar interplay on track 4 reminiscent of Rosenwinkel’s harmonic world. A thoughtful, richly textured album worth diving into.”

„Słucha się „Agmy” z zapartym tchem. To album znakomicie zaplanowany i w sposób idealny przełożony na zespołową realizację. Intrygujące melodie, improwizacyjne inwencje, wyjątkowa jedność kwintetu. Perfekcja.”

Dear friends, big news! My new album AGMA is dropp

Dear friends, big news! My new album AGMA is dropping on April 24th, and you can pre-order it now on my bandcamp page! CDs ship early, and LPs will be ready soon!

The first single, „Sacred”, is out now—go check it on your favorite streaming platform!

Can’t express how personal this album is for me. It’s been quite a while since my last release as a leader. On AGMA I got to work with some of my favourite musicians: @songyijeon (voice), @hatmahat (trumpet), @somospeter (drums) and @andrzej.swies (bass)

Can’t wait to share more soon. Thanks for being part of my journey! Links in my bio

AGMA - Slavic word/sound that was considered to carry special power and energy.
