Czarakcziew and Jazz Cats
Czarakcziew and Jazz Cats is a quartet that has been exploring the boundaries of jazz since 2020, adding a unique element of the cello to this fascinating musical narrative. The ensemble, comprised of young yet experienced musicians, stands out with its original sound, blending classical and jazz with elements of film music, avant-garde, and experimental music. In their repertoire, alongside original compositions, you can find works from the era of American cool jazz by composers such as Fred Katz, Buddy Collette, and Chico Hamilton.
