  • Bokun-Kosciuszko Duo - A la carte
The excellent guitarist Kosciuszko is revealed as a very talented young who has the uncommon capability to express, through his guitar, deep and dense emotions, and to catch and underline details and shades like few guitarists can.

for Christmas

Hey! With Jan Jakub Bokun we have just recorded our first album together! Looking at the Christmas tree in the recording room, we thought of just recording a very short Christmas song arrangement for clarinet and guitar. So here it is! All the best and Merry Christmas!

Just finished recording the 3rd album! "Guitar Sounds Jazzy" coming soon!

Obraz
 I just finished the recording of my third solo album, "Guitar Sounds Jazzy". It will contain works by my favourite composers, Roland Dyens, Dusan Bogdanović, Paulo Bellinati, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Norah Jones and Leszek Zaleski (world premiere recording of the piece "For You"). The sound engineer is the same amazing guy with whom I`ve worked on the recording of  "Guitar Recital" CD, Bartek Orłowski (many know him from the rock band "Chorzy", where he plays the guitar). The single promoting the new CD is "Felicidade" by Antonio Carlos Jobim (in the arrangement of Roland Dyens), which you can watch on the top of this page :-). So excited about the new release!

World PREMIERE of the new music video

Picture
The world premiere of the new music video will take place at the Club der polnischen Versager in Berlin, Ackerstr. 168, (U8 Rosenthaler Platz) on November 29th at 21:00. Don`t miss it!!! From midnight also on YouTube.

The video was made for the single "Felicidade" by Antonio Carlos Jobim in a neat arrangement of Roland Dyens.


In the meantime you can watch the photos from the set HERE.

The project is co-financed by the Szczecin Municipality.
