"Once more the piece revealed Pysz’s skills as a writer, he is a consistently excellent composer, whose works all possess a strong melodic, and even cinematic, quality."

​

"However impressive his technique may be, it is certainly not 'showy' – everything is at the service of creative expression"

John Watson (London Jazz News, March 2017)

​

"Three unscripted, immersive pieces, across a full hour... This trio’s improvisations evolve both organically and patiently, their emotional reach potentially quite powerful..."

Selwyn Harris (JazzWise Magazine, August 2017)

 

"If antidote were needed for saxophone & trumpet-based jazz, then the refreshingly clean, quicksilver beauty of Maciek Pysz's guitar trio comes to mind. This young Polish guitarist plays folk & classical instruments with an almost austere, pure, clarity reminiscent of early Metheny and Ralph Towner, with deft bass and drums accompaniment. Delightful"

David Ellingham (Local Secrest, Nov 2015)

​

"...increasingly Pysz is finding his own individual descriptive harmonic colours, and is with the right colleagues to explore them further"

Sebastian Scotney (London Jazz News, Nov 2015)

 

"From the start it was obvious that this was going to be something special...Pysz had the audience enthralled"

Lance Liddle (Bepop Spoke Here, Nov 2015)
