Rasp Lovers + Sławek Jaskółke

At the Jazz Festival Jazz Jantar Rasp Lovers will present material from their debut album, recorded in Monochrom Studio. Romantic Alternative Schizophrenic Punk will be released in October. RASP Lovers is a project of guitarist and composer Szymon Wójcik, which was created in the summer of 2018. It is a combination of Łódź Romanticism, Sub-Warsaw Alternative, Mokotów Schizophrenia and Kutno Pun. Breaking patterns, playing with form and convention, juxtaposing seemingly distant elements, creating musical oxymorons and contrasts are the main assumptions underlying the band's music. It is hard to classify it into any genre, it is a mix of punk, avant-garde jazz, electronics, improvised music and alternative rock. Jerzy Mączyński (tenor and baritone saxophone), Szymon Wójcik (guitar and composition), Marcel Baliński (piano and MICROkorg), Rafał Różalski (double bass), Bartosz Szablowski (drums).

That evening Sławek Jaskułke, a Polish jazz pianist and improviser, will perform solo, graduated from the Department of Jazz and Stage Music of the Academy of Music in Gdańsk. He has performed on the biggest stages of the world - Carnegie Hall in New York, Symphony Hall in Chicago, Munich Philharmonic and International Performing Arts Center in Moscow.
