Paweł Ignatowicz is a guitarist, composer, and music producer born in
Poland and based in New York City. Recognized as one of the most
distinctive jazz-meets-rock guitarists of his generation, Ignatowicz
seamlessly blends jazz improvisation and progressive rock with influences
from a wide range of musical traditions, while remaining deeply rooted in
New York City’s jazz scene. He began his musical education at the age of
eight and discovered his passion for guitar at ten, going on to master
electric, acoustic, and nylon-string guitars, as well as fretless guitar,
guitar synthesizers, and electric sitar.
Ignatowicz earned a master’s in music from the University of Silesia,
majoring in jazz guitar. He has collaborated with numerous distinguished
musicians, including John Benitez, Matt Penman, Mark Whitfield Jr. and Ari
Hoenig and Richie Cannata, and released his debut album, "Talk to You
Later," in 2008. His latest album, "Here and Now" (2017), showcases a
diverse blend of acoustic and electric sounds. He has performed at
legendary jazz clubs such as 55 Bar and Blues Alley. In 2023, he was
honoured with the title of "Ambassador of the City of Żywiec" in Poland
for his artistic achievements.
Piotr Wyleżoł – pianist and composer. Hailed as a child prodigy, he
performed piano concertos by Haydn and Beethoven with philharmonic
orchestras in Poland at the ages of 10 and 11. For many years, he has been
regarded as one of Poland’s leading jazz pianists. With his album Human
Things, he became part of the legendary Polish Jazz series. He has led
his own Trio since the very beginning of his musical career, for more than
20 years now. As he says: “The Trio is a space where, for years, I have
passionately fulfilled my musical ego as a pianist, composer, improviser,
and creator of musical moods. It is the ensemble that offers the greatest
freedom in shaping form and musical dialogue.”
Grzegorz Pałka is a jazz drummer born in Kraków, Poland, in 1994, and a
graduate of the Academy of Music in Kraków, where he completed his studies
with distinction. He is the recipient of numerous awards at both national
and international jazz and drum competitions and festivals, including Jazz
Juniors, Krokus Jazz Festival, Blue Note Jazz Competition, and
International Drumfest. A three-time Fryderyk Award nominee and two-time
recipient of the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage
scholarship, he has performed at prestigious festivals and toured
extensively across Europe, Asia, and North America, collaborating with many
acclaimed artists from the Polish and international jazz scene.
Adam Glasser is a South African-born, UK-based jazz pianist, composer, and
chromatic harmonica virtuoso, widely regarded as one of Europe’s leading
jazz harmonica players. Raised in South Africa and deeply influenced by the
country’s rich jazz heritage, Glasser blends South African musical
traditions with contemporary European jazz. Over the course of his career,
he has collaborated with artists including Joe Zawinul, Sting, Martha
Reeves, and Dominic Miller, while also performing on numerous film scores,
theatre productions, and international jazz festivals. As a bandleader,
composer, and longtime musical director of The Manhattan Brothers, Glasser
has established a distinctive voice that bridges jazz improvisation,
African rhythms, and lyrical harmonic expression.
