High-energy original compositions which draw from jazz tradition, the Avante-Garde, Groove and more modern musical forms and styles. It all started in 2012 when a trumpeter Cyprian Baszyński and a saxophonist Bartek Prucnal decided to combine and join forces. Their first album "Introducing” has been praised by critics. Some of them claimed it the debut of the 2013 year.  What’s more important, some of the greatest musicians of the jazz scene have had a very enthusiastic opinion of the album, including Kenny Garret, Walter Smith III and Piotr Wojtasik.

 

The winners of both the "Azoty Tarnow International Jazz Contest 2012" (Kenny Garret; head judge) and the prestigious 36th "Jazz Juniors" Competition. That’s why they have been invited to participate in the Jazz in the Ruins, a festival of young jazz music and new rising stars of improvised music. The group performed with Max Mucha on the bass instead of Micheal Parker.
