Tomasz Kowalczyk Trio - Changing Perceptions (2018)

In 2005, three friends meet at a jazz workshop in Poland and later found their first jazz band together in Berlin. The tktrio, which at that time still mainly consisted of teenage students, played concerts in jazz clubs and several concert halls in its founding year. However, the paths quickly get lost. Their studies and other circumstances bring the young band apart at an early age. But what remains is the memory of a common sound, of the youthful dynamics and harmony that united the musicians at that time.

10 years and 1,000 lucky coincidences later all band members finally land in Northern Germany. And so since 2017, the tktrio has been taking up the energy of the Berlin era and creating a new sound - virtuoso piano trio music, always with a focus on the melodic overall impression, in which not the individual band members, but rather the unmistakable band sound stands out. Thus the listener experiences less a stringing together of individual pieces but rather a big picture in the style of sound-oriented European jazz, where the drama of the overall composition is in the main focus. The tktrio makes honest, handmade music that also fascinates audience that is new to jazz.
