Tatvamasi

Created in 2013, Polish jazz-rock quartet Tatvamasi are led by Grzegorz Lesiak, a guitarist/composer who 1st obtained recognition in folk circles, focusing on traditional musics of Central and Eastern Europe, including Poland and Ukraine.

Tragically, in Dec 2003 a vehicle accident stated Kielbusiewicz’s life, and in addition seriously hurt Lesiak, who essentially continued a protracted hiatus from your music picture for another a decade. When Lesiak re-emerged, he previously reinvented himself like a jazz-rock electrical guitarist, although he continuing to attract from Western european folk traditions, today wedded towards the exploratory grooves from the Tatvamasi quartet. Furthermore to Lesiak, Tatvamasi features tenor saxophonist Tomasz Piatek and two music artists who also perform and record jointly as the tempo portion of the Klezmaholics, bassist Lukasz Downar and drummer Krzysztof Redas.
