The musicians are characterized by great sensitivity and versatility. Despite their young age, they have a very rich musical experience. The leader, on double bass, is accompanied on stage by the pianist Mateusz Kaszuba and the drummer Shachar Elnatan. In 2020, the Trio received the Grand Prix of the Lotos Jazz Festival - “22nd Bielska Zadymka Jazzowa”. Currently, the band is preparing for their first concert tour.
