Gralak has always been recognized as one of Europe's most significant and creative musicians. With his trumpet, he gave the finishing touch to the most important path of Polish jazz of the 1980s.
His name refers back to legendary formations:
Free Cooperation, Young Power and groups closer to rock, Sfora and Woo Boo Doo, to the international formation Universal Supersession.
He gained fame as a co-founder of the powerhouse jazz-rock formation Tie Break, which is counted among the small group of cult Polish music groups.

Before meeting Gralak, they have been already playing together for many years releasing alltogether five studio albums,

Marek Pospieszalski quartet is a forefront of the European jazz scene, each of the musicians has an individual sound resulting from their diverse musical experiences.
Released their debut album in 2017 as a tribute to Frank Sinatra;
the material was recorded at Berlin's Emil Berliner Studios with Jeremy Loucas responsible for mixing and mastering.
In the second half of 2022 the next album of his quartet was published; the music on "Dürer’s Mother" is inspired by the work ofs 19th and 20th century composers from Schubert to Britten to Lachenmann. Pospieszalski's compositions, full of references to the works of masters, are immersed in contemporary times and go into unexplored areas of free improvisation. They are a starting point for an open and multifaceted interpretation, in which the other members of Pospieszalski's ensemble find themselves masterfully. A lot has already been expressed within the classical quartet formula, however, this encourages the musicians to search for new forms of expression, placing the main emphasis on tone color, using non-standard consonance, or provoking cross-genre meetings.

Marek Pospieszalski Octet brings together the best of the contemporary improvised music scene. The leader's bold ideas are implemented by a team of artists who can be described as the crème de la crème of improvisers in this part of the world.
Already since the premiere of their phonographic debut had an an international significance,
the octet has been hailed as the flagship Polish band, which was confirmed in the rankings summarizing 2022,
headed by a survey of music critics in the Jazz Forum magazine, in which the double album "Polish Composers of the 20th Century" received the title of Record of the Year , and Marek Pospieszalski won in the most prestigious Musician of the Year award.

In the leader's new compositions, you will be able to hear echoes of alternative rock, references to minimalist electronic music and modular synthesizers, but the focus will remain on collective improvisation.

Piotr Rachon

The music of Piotr Rachon Quartet is contemporary jazz, full of dynamics and surprising twists, spacey with musical meditation inspired by ethno and nature.
Musicians reach for an interesting set of sounds. Where, apart from the typical instruments for a jazz quartet, there are ethnic instruments and unusual instruments and effects of the guitarist Vojto Monteur - especially "electronic" ambient guitar and fretless guitar. Vojto is an appreciated instrumentalist, composer and producer. In PRQ, he is responsible for spaces and colors, as well as for solo parts and instrumental dialogues with the pianist.
Another strong point of the quartet is the rhythm section, Jakub Olejnik is a double bass player who often uses a bow (sometimes his bass sounds like f.e. Duduk), adding his own color and sound. Paweł Nienadowski is a wild drummer, using both traditional percussion sets and ethnic percussion instruments.

Piotr is an artist who has made a name for himself in numerous projects at the intersection of avant-garde, free jazz, ethno and classical.
We could hear him in JazzBlaster, Jorgos Skolias, Pulsarus or Avatar Orchestra, among others. The pianist has collaborated with musicians from all over the world, including ethnic musicians from Tuva. All this wealth of musical and life experiences can also be heard in his music. Piotr Rachoń's sounds are difficult to confuse with any other pianist.
The result of his musical travels is an unconventional approach to improvisation and the discovery of little-known folk motifs.
