From Summer to Autumn — Music, Concerts & New Beginnings
From Summer to Autumn — Music, Concerts & New Beginnings
Dear Friends,
September is slowly coming to an end — a month that has also marked the beginning of a completely new chapter for me. My older daughter started first grade. New responsibilities, new challenges, and a completely new rhythm to our everyday life have begun.
Time sometimes slips through our fingers. All the more reason why I’m happy that, in the midst of this busy time, I can pause for a moment and look back at what has happened around my music over the past few months.
A Summer Full of Music and Meaningful Encounters
On August 13, I had the great pleasure of performing at Jassmine Jazz Club in Warsaw — a very special evening that was meaningful to me not only musically, but above all on a social level.
We performed in support of Fundacja Akeda and its incredibly important mission. Through education, culture, and music, the foundation supports children and young people in the Central African Republic. One of its most important projects is the African Music School — a school that gives young people opportunities for development and education, while helping them build a better future.
On August 15, we performed at RCK PRO JAZZ FESTIVAL in Kołobrzeg, Poland — another beautiful encounter with an audience by the Baltic Sea and another reminder of how much energy performing live can bring.
Thank you to the wonderful audience for such a warm and beautiful welcome.
“Voices of Human Consciousness” — What Has Happened Since the Release?
So far, the music from the album and the entire “Voices of Human Consciousness” project have been featured by 47 media outlets in 9 countries — including the USA, UK, Canada, Poland, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and the Netherlands. There has been so much coverage that we have created dedicated sections on the website to make it easier to browse through the full catalogue.

And Ahead of Me… An Autumn Full of Concerts
Autumn is shaping up to be just as busy. Among other things, I have concerts coming up in Germany with the Polish Sisters in Jazz lineup, as well as several very exciting concerts with Ewa Uryga, where I will perform with an American lineup, the Curtis brothers, and a symphony orchestra.
There will also be three concerts with my own project, Sound Circle feat. Greg Osby.
For two of these concerts, we will be joined by Sanem Kalfa — the Turkish vocalist who also appears on Voices of Human Consciousness. I’m especially looking forward to these encounters and warmly invite you to join us — you’ll have a chance to hear the music from the album live and to experience how this project continues to evolve.

Two Special Meetings
This autumn, I’ll also be taking part in two special events connected to Voices of Human Consciousness — each with a different format.
October 6 — Prom Kultury, Saska Kępa, Warsaw | 7:00 PM
This will be a conversation and live performance. I’ll talk about the story behind Voices of Human Consciousness, the musicians who took part in the recording, the ideas behind the album, and what the concept of human consciousness means to me today.
The conversation will be followed by a short solo drum performance, offering a chance to hear some of my music live and in a more intimate setting.
October 24 — Audio Video Show, Planeta Dźwięku, Hotel Sobieski, Warsaw | 3:00 PM
The second event will be a conversation and dedicated vinyl listening session.
We’ll talk about the making and concept of the album, but the central part of the meeting will be listening to Voices of Human Consciousness from vinyl on a high-end audiophile sound system.
The listening setup will be truly exceptional, making this a special opportunity to experience the album from a completely different perspective — especially for anyone interested in both jazz and high-quality sound.
I wish you all a wonderfull fall and I hope to you on the musical path.
