Close
A project in which the musicians combine their knowledge from various musical experiences, love of jazz, fascination with rhythm and melody and openness to contemporary influences. It is a project created as a result of the collision of two seemingly different musical worlds - a jazz trio and a string quartet. Tomasz Wendt - Polish jazz saxophonist, composer and pedagogue. As a student of the saxophone class, he graduated with honors from the Karol Lipinski Academy of Music in Wroclaw, receiving the Diploma of the Year 2014 award at the same time. In addition, he was awarded the Prize of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage for the most talented students of art universities in Poland. In September 2019, he defended his doctoral degree at the Wrocław Academy of Music, where he is currently a lecturer.
Saxophonist Tomasz Wendt Trio Atom String Quartet's first self-titled album Behind the Strings won acclaim in the Polish music community, resulting in a 2017 Fryderyk Award in the Jazz Phonographic Debut category[1]. Three years after such a high-profile phonographic debut, another album of Tomasz's original music was released in 2019: "Chapter B." This time Wendt recorded an album of intriguing sound textures (saxophone, keyboards, violin, percussion). This album was also very positively received by the music community, as evidenced by the large number of favorable reviews and the quartet's intense concert activity.
The saxophonist has worked with many outstanding artists from the music world to include: Grzegorz Nagórski, Piotr Wojtasik, Mateusz Smoczyński, Joachim Mencel, Michał Miśkiewicz, Jan Smoczyński, Mateusz Smoczyński, Rafał Sarnecki, Jacek Namysłowski, Artur Lesicki, Kuba Stankiewicz, Urszula Dudziak, Eric Allen (USA), Dean Brown (USA) or also Taco Hemingway, Jarecki and Grubson.
