Kosmonauci

Can a band skillfully blend future jazz, drum ‘n’ bass and contemporary jazzy hip hop to concoct something excitingly new? What if the Polish DIY quartet Kosmonauci, unburdened by the weight of idioms and the restrictions of genres, can blow our expectations out of the water through the randomness of improvisation and the sheer innocence of youth? The answers to these questions might not be obvious or linear, but one thing is certain: the band’s polyrhythmic melodies have already caused a stir in famous Polish jazz festivals, like Jazz Jantar Festival, Bielska Zadymka Jazzowa and Młyn Jazz Festival, getting praise from both audiences and critics. Having toured their debut album all over Europe and determined to beat the sophomore slump with their second LP Brudna – Bielizna, they will be arriving at Athens Jazz for a live performance that promises to take us on an experimental ride into uncharted musical waters.
