KONKUBINAP

Marek Napiórkowski Trio is a formation consisting of three extraordinary musicians: Marek Napiórkowski, the guitarist, Robert Kubiszyn, the bassist, and Cezary Konrad, the drummer. Concerts of the band are a mixture of lively, energetic improvised music, expressive solo parts, as well as delicate lyrical ballads.  

"KonKubiNap is like meeting good, old friends. Czarek Konrad and Robert Kubiszyn are outstanding musicians, who love to listen and react during their performance, which is what I value most. Each concert with them is, on the one hand, a challenge, but on the other hand, it's an adventure where something new is bound to happen," says Marek Napiórkowski.

"The Trinity consisting of musicians from the top rankings plays magnificently, sounds just the same, and what's more – it also applies to the live shows. Yes, KonKubiNap is the ultimate trio."
(Maciej Karłowski, Polish National Radio Program II)

WOLNO

Wolno (slowly, freely) is the apotheosis of the moment. The praise of pure, acoustic sound and the beauty within, which has been there since forever, outside the time. It is focused, as much as it is insane – how else would you call a congregation of those extraordinary musicians, who let themselves be carried away by their imagination, which is throwing them into regions that they themselves didn't suspect existed. It is a holy day of Freedom in music. It is, eventually, a lingering thought of a dreamy passerby, so priceless in chaos and jittery pulse of the modern world. Only from this perspective, of wandering slowly, you can say things that matter. 

"Exaltation of the sound of acoustic instruments is mixed here with the acclaim for the craft of the performing musicians." 
					             (Marek Dusza, InfoMusic)				  
"It is an extraordinary balance between good taste, musical intuition, and an unseen virtuoso performance, held back by intelligence and nobility of the musicians."

Marek Napiórkowski NAP

The first solo album by Marek Napiórkowski, Nap, features the biggest names of Polish jazz scene, such as Anna Maria Jopek, Leszek Możdżer, Henryk Miśkiewicz, Dorota Miśkiewicz, Robert Luty and Krzysztof Herdzin. They helped making this album as exquisite as it is. While having a huge potential for commercial success, it remains original and is based firmly on jazz grounds. There are moments that bring back 70's electric jazz – Weather Report or Return To Forever mood lingers on, and you can clearly hear its open-mindedness. But there is also personal, characteristic style of Napiórkowski. It is important as it proves his worth as a musician and a composer. Wary listener will also notice the perfect balance allowing for strong, funky riffs, as well as wonderful ballads with space for acoustic instruments, grand piano parts by Leszek Możdżer and Krzysztof Herdzin, and the amazing voices of Anna Maria Jopek and Dorota Miśkiewicz. The album was co-produced by Marek and the bass player you can hear on the whole record, Robert Kubiszyn. Nap will surprise the cynics and will be the treat for the fans. It is an essence of guitar jazz.

"Nap is a mature, perfectly played and perfectly recorded album, with songs which represent the leader's interests but also a well-thought set of diverse compositions prepared with no pressure from the label."
