The London based Quartet was formed in 2016. Krzysztof’s goal was to find musicians open to create a fresh and original sound within a very common band frame – a Quartet.

For his fifths soon to be released album as a leader, Krzysztof Urbański presents a new acoustic quartet that naturally blends melodic rhapsody, rhythmic structures within the tradition of jazz, world, and classical music.

The leader says: “all four musicians are exceptional instrumentalists and improvisers. Watching them exploring new musical territories can be a very memorable experience”.

Krzysztof Urbański is a multi-award-winning jazz saxophonist, composer, educator, and producer, recommended by ‘The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz’ along with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter as one of the most interesting saxophone voices of his generation.

During his 20-year career he has become well known for taking part in concerts, festivals, jazz competitions, masterclasses and workshops at venues including The World Saxophone Congress in Croatia, Asian Saxophone Congress in Shanghai/China, London Jazz Festival, Chicago Jazz Showcase, Gent Jazz Festival, Manchester Jazz Festival, UCLA in Los Angeles, and The Royal Northern College of Music.
