Concert of the DBD TRIO/KOSMOS bands

We invite you to a jazz warm-up before the Birthday Toast for Tomasz Stańko!

On July 5, Funky DBD TRIO and KOSMOS will play for you at the square by the Tenement House at ul. Króla Kazimierza 25!

DBD TRIO - the group was founded in 2023. The band consists of three extremely creative musicians: Mateusz Dymek - piano, Piotr Bober - double bass, Dominik Drapikowski - drums. The meeting of these three musical personalities resulted in fruitful cooperation. In their work, DBD Trio experiments with various aspects of jazz, from traditional sounds to contemporary interpretations. The musicians draw inspiration from Nordic jazz trends, maneuvering towards the avant-garde, but often referring to classical music and swing. This mixture of their own compositions and collective improvisation creates a unique atmosphere and aura. At the same time, it can delight with the beauty of melody and simplicity of reception. It is an innovative jazz band that exudes passion, creativity and an energetic approach to music.
DBD Trio has the ability to stimulate, inspire and transport people to different states of consciousness. The debut album “Utopia” with its title refers to an attempt to break through art to universal reality. The album was recorded at Monochrom Studio in May 2024.

Mateusz Dymek - Piano virtuoso, known for his subtlety in playing and ability to express emotions through sounds. His improvisations give the band a unique character.
Dominik Drapikowski - Drummer master who adds energy and rhythm to the band. His ability to create complex rhythmic patterns makes each song gain a unique pulse.
Piotr Bober - An exceptional double bass player who not only provides a solid harmonic foundation, but also adds expression and depth to each song.

KOSMOS - a mix of yass, hip-hop and improvised music. The quintet, creating its own sound world by combining acoustic instruments with electronics, is one of the most interesting young jazz-related projects in Poland. Kosmos in its current form has been present on the stage since December 2022. The band regularly performs concerts all over Poland and attracts attention, including thanks to the 3rd place in the JazzPress plebiscite for the best jazz band of 2024, winning the 1st edition of the WesJazz Competition or being in the final of the 25th Edition of the Bielska Zadymka Jazzowa. The band represents a new wave of jazz music, as evidenced by its presence on the album Generacja JAZZ, a compilation released by U Know Me Records. The band's debut album entitled Kosmos was released in June 2024 on the Krakow label Audio Cave. The album was very well received by critics, recognized as one of the most interesting debuts of this year. Each member of the band is characterized by an eccentric character and different musical means of expression - one could even venture to say that this is a group of strange people. For reasons unknown to them, the members of Kosmos successfully complement each other on stage and create an artistically coherent vision of the space surrounding them.

The band consists of:
Jan Ostalski - cornet, flugelhorn, synthesizers
Iwo Tylman - saxophones
Stanisław Szmigiero - piano, synthesizers
Kamil Guźniczak - double bass
Kacper Kuta - drums
