A concert of three iconic personas of avant-garde jazz music.

Ken Vandermark has been probably the most creative representative of Chicago's improvised music for over twenty years. He is a leader or co-leader of bands: Vandermark 5, Bridge 61, the Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet, FME, Sonore, The Nilssen-Love/Vandermark Duo, the Territory Band and Free Fall, DKV. In 1999 he won the McArthur Foundation award – a prestigious award granted annually to the most outstanding artists from various fields of art. He has recorded several dozen highly reviewed albums. Recorded in 2005 in Krakow's Alchemia, the 12-alchemy box entitled Alchemia was recognized by critics of the world's largest jazz portal allaboutjazz.com as one of the five most outstanding albums of the year.

Mikołaj Trzaska is a Gdańsk-born saxophonist, bass clarinettist and composer. He studied fine arts between 1988 and 1991. He grew up on the basis of yass – an artistic and social movement which at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s rebelled against the ossification of the national jazz community. Trzaska was a co-founder of the most important yass formation – the legendary Miłość and (the still active) Łoskot. Although the momentum of yass music expired many years ago, he became a leading figure on the Polish improvised scene. After the yass period, he recorded several concentrated and quiet albums with the Olesia brothers. He also accompanied the poets Świetlicki and Andruchowycz, creating music and literary projects with Andrzej Stasiuk. Today, he is the leader of the international Volumen trio, a member of, among others, the International Volumen Trio, Above all, however, it is realized on the grounds of radical free jazz, collaborating with dozens of the world's leading free improvisers, including Peter Brötzmann, Joe McPhee, Ken Vandermak, Peter Friis Nielsen, Michael Zerang, Clementine Gasser, John Tchikai and Noel Akchote. He is also a recognized composer of film and theatre music, working on a permanent basis with Wojciech Smarzowski, among others.

Michal Gorczynski is a clarinettist, composer and music teacher born in 1977. He graduated from the Fryderyk Chopin Music Academy in Warsaw. Since 1998, he has been composing music for various instrumental ensembles as well as theatre music (around 25 plays for drama and puppet theatres). He is active as an improviser and modern music performer. He is also the author of installations, theoretical writings, radio features, and underground films. Since 2002, he has been a member of Kwartludium ensemble, specialising in modern music performance. Since 2008, he has worked on extending the sound of the bass clarinet, inspired by beatbox and in cooperation with one of the leading Polish beatboxers, Patryk Matela a.k.a. Tik Tak. He has coined the term of “composed education.” He received grants for the creation of alternative educational manuals. Since 2013, he has been running a project entitled Music for Languages, writing original music for the Yiddish language (CD published by Multikulti Records), Japanese poetry (CD published by Fortune Records), and Persian poetry by Jalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī.
