  Jazztopad Festival NYC presents:

   

  Uri Caine with the Lutosławski Quartet

  Kamil Piotrowicz Quartet with Jamie Baum

  The Space Kiss album is an invitation to meet the extraordinary musical personality of Uri Caine, an American classical and jazz pianist and composer, educated at the University of Pennsylvania, where avant-garde composer George Crumb was his mentor. From an early age Caine confronted different musical worlds (jazz, avant-garde, classics), which to this day results in an intriguing, specific style of his work.  He has released numerous albums, and in 2009 he was nominated for a Grammy in the “Best Classical Crossover Album” category for The Othello Syndrome, inspired by Verdi’s Otello.

  Kamil Piotrowicz is a pianist, composer, founder of ‘Idealistic Festival’ and independent label ‘Howard Records’. He is a leader and member of Kamil Piotrowicz Sextet, LAWAAI, Wojtczak / Piotrowicz, hałvva, Il Mare. Graduated with honours from the composition class of Professor Leszek Kułakowski at the Academy of Music in Gdańsk and from the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen. He is currently studying. at The Royal Conservatory of Music in Aarhus.

   Nominated for the Fryderyk 2019 and Fryderyk 2017 awards for his own albums Product Placement and Popular Music together with Kamil Piotrowicz Sextet. He received a number of cultural awards, including the West Pomeranian Cultural Award ‘Pro Arte’ and ‘Young Creator of Culture’ of the City of Gdansk. Kamil performed all over Europe or in Africa and his approach to the piano is characterised by meticulous technique, virtuosity and immersive sensibility.
