Andrew Wasylyk
Hazy, cinematic jazz that feels like a faded postcard from the Scottish coast. Warm piano and muted brass for quiet mornings and deep thinking.

Andrew Wasylyk is the solo project of Scottish multi-instrumentalist Andrew Mitchell. His work represents a unique intersection of spiritual jazz, neo-classical, and ambient folk, often centered around specific locations in Scotland (such as Dundee's Balgay Hill or the Tay Estuary).
His sound identity is built on a foundation of vintage instrumentation, including the Fender Rhodes, upright piano, and muted flugelhorn, processed through analog chains to achieve a 'dusty' and timeless quality. Wasylyk's career arc shows a steady evolution from the indie-pop sensibilities of his work with The Hazey Janes and Idlewild toward a sophisticated, cinematic instrumental language. Critically, he is positioned alongside contemporary figures like Greg Foat and Alabaster DePlume, sharing their interest in the 'spiritual' and 'pastoral' dimensions of jazz. His albums are often conceptual, exploring themes of urban planning, natural beauty, and historical memory, making him a favorite among collectors of library music and modern instrumental composition.
