Polish Jazz Night: Wójciński/Szmańda Quartet

Wójciński/Szmańda Quartet was founded in the December of 2014 by drummer Krzysztof Szmańda, bassist Ksawery Wójciński, pianist Szymon Wójciński and trumpeter Maurycy Wójciński. Each member of the group has a significant experience in jazz and the improvised music scene, as well as being members of different groups and as soloists. Very quickly after forming the group, they made a recording session. This session was released on CD album entitled „Delusions“ in April 2016 by Fundacja Słuchaj! The album was generally well-received and was loaded in reviews. On the beginning of 2017, the recording was announced as the 1st of Polish Jazz 2016 Top Ten Albums by Polish-Jazz blog. 

The group performed in renowned jazz clubs in Poland such as 12on14 in Warsaw, Vertigo in Wrocław, Piec-Art in Kraków and jazz festivals such as Jazztopad in Wrocław (2015), Krakowska Jesień Jazzowa in Kraków (2016) , in Jazz in Rotterdam (2016).
