Immediately after that I played  concert with Ensemble 56 at "PiecArt Acoustic Jazz Club" in Krakow. Really friendly place and concert was amazing!!

Workshop of collective spontaneous improvisation

Lecture and workshop in Lublin. In workshop I will present  technics of preparation to collective activity, technics came from martial art which I treat as a one of paradigm of activity in group. And the technics of preparing for cooperation ("negative cooperation" in prakseology) in martial arts are most useful in my opinion (since 5 years I practise TaiJi Quan Chen). If You are interested in what we (as an artists-improvisers) can learn from masters of martial art, let You come to Lublin in Poland. Here You can read about it (only in polish): http://warsztatykultury.pl/?p=351

Why Thomastik?

Lot of people asked me: why Thomastik-Infeld? There are not so popular strings for bass guitar. I can say only: there are the best strings for acoustic bass guitar which I've ever used. Clear?

56 again


Today me and Mietek Górka (drummer of Ensemble 56) had a meeting with Wawrzyniec, owner of label Multi Kulti Project. It seems that in October Ensemble 56 will have second CD, live recording with special guest - amazing polish sax player Piotr Baron. As usual music is recorded by Rafal Drewniany DTS Mobile Studio.
