Marcin Masecki, Eldar Tsalikov & Jan Pieniążek - Monk

One of Poland's most prolific and idiosyncratic musicians, Marcin Masecki plays Monk with his trio. Marcin Masecki is the winner of many awards he performs extensively on all keyboard instruments, sings, composes for film and theatre, conducts orchestras, educates, and curates musical events. His projects span a wide range of styles and his virtuosic fusion of different genres as well as the blurring of the line between high art and entertainment have become his hallmarks.

The experience of Thelonious Monk has left an enduring mark on the Polish pianist. Like Monk, the binarity of composition and improvisation does not interest him at all, and for Masecki too, composition is coagulated improvisation, while improvisation is described as 'instant composing.' For Masecki, the space in between is absolute freedom.
