PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)

Virtuoso guitarist Maciek Pysz is back in town presenting his new drumless quartet. The band will premiere some of Maciek's new works inspired by the drumless sound as well as some older compositions specially arranged for this instrumentation. His stellar quartet features Yuri Goloubev on double bass, John Turville on piano and Adam Spiers on cello. Maciek says "I love exploring the space provided by the lack of drums and having the cello as well as double bass in the lineup allows for more orchestral arrangements. I can't wait to hit the road again and play you some new music plus older works with a fresh twist!"

“Pysz is a quiet virtuoso who has developed into one of the most distinctive guitarists around.”

Ian Mann, The Jazz Mann

Of his live performances, one critic referred to the “refreshingly clean, quicksilver beauty of Maciek Pysz’s guitar”.
