Jakub Klimiuk Quintet is a London-based ensemble that fuses influences from the Scandinavian improvised scene and contemporary New York jazz, creating a sound full of exciting tension. The resultant repertoire is a combination of scripted forms and improvised sections, constantly entwining melodic compositions and experimental sonic escapades.
The band’s recent album ”(un)balanced”, featuring one of the UK’s modern jazz pioneers, the saxophonist Mark Lockheart, tells the story of seeking balance in today’s reality, manoeuvring through the overwhelming deluge of information and striving to discover inspiration in everyday routine.
The quintet has performed at the London Jazz Festival and major jazz venues, including Vortex Jazz Club, PizzaExpress Live, 606 Club, receiving favourable reviews from European press outlets such as UK Jazz News and Jazz Forum.
”His sound (…) gorgeous, fluid and shot through with an almost epic quality. Like all genuine virtuosos, Jakub never allows his technical skill to overwhelm the musicality..." UK Jazz News
"This is an impressive debut" - Jazz Views
”He is not only an excellent guitarist (…) but also an accomplished composer.” - Jazz Forum
