The MUSIC:

The Quartet led by Guitarist and Composer Maciek Pysz will be playing music from the critically acclaimed album “Insight” as well as music from their upcoming album ‘A Journey’ out on Dot Time Records in October 2015. “A Journey” was recorded at the Artesuono Studio (Italy) with ECM’s sound Engineer Stefano Amerio.
