Tomasz Dąbrowski
Praised by DownBeat Magazine as one of Europe’s most versatile and curious players, Polish-born trumpeter Tomasz Dąbrowski – Scandinavian-based musician and composer makes music that whispers then screams; beautiful, open melodies merging into non-trumpet-like noise.
Dąbrowski has revealed an unceasing curiosity, stretching and expanding his jazz roots in an ever-widening circle of exploration. From the beginning he’s rejected hierarchies, preferring to see creative music as a boundless practice that can accommodate ideas drawn from every spot on the stylistic map.
While plenty of musicians pivot toward new directions, sometimes transforming their aesthetic wholesale, Dabrowski has long revealed a more ruminative and holistic mindset that has allowed him to retain a clear artistic identity through countless projects, whether driven by improvisation or composition.
With ten albums released under his own name and dozens of CDs as a co-leader and sideman, he is considered one of the most gifted trumpeters and composers in Europe. Tomasz has mostly been known for his work with groups The Individual Beings, Tom Trio [nominated to the Fryderyk Award – Polish Music Industry Award] FREE4ARTS, OCEAN FANFARE, his Japanese quartet AD HOC, string of concerts S-O-L-O: 30th Birthday / 30 Concerts / 30 Cities and projects with Tomasz Stańko, Tyshawn Sorey and Marilyn Mazur. Tomasz is a member of a Danish musician-run collective and record label Barefoot Records.
AllAboutJazz magazine, named Tomasz as one of the 15 most significant European jazz musicians today [2017].
