Eryk Kulm is an outstanding percussionist who has risen from the Gdańsk environment of jazzmen.He created a real band full of mutual understanding and swing! Concerts performed by this group have been applauded on many stages both in Poland and abroad. Reviews of performances were not only positive, but also enthusiastic. “The name ‘Quintessence’, as Eryk underlines, did not spring from the word quintet, but was to convey the essence of jazz, which is comprised of swing, blues, the joy of playing, and surrendering yourself during a concert. Regardless of whether we are playing in a quintet or a trio, it will always be the ‘Quintessence’.”

The concert at the festival was recorded and it`s supposed to be published in the USA and Poland.
