Guitarist & Composer

Maciek Pysz is a guitarist and composer renowned for his lyrical phrasing, cinematic compositions, and distinctive musical voice. Drawing inspiration from jazz, classical music, tango, flamenco, and Brazilian traditions, his work is rooted in melody, space, and emotional depth.

​

Born in Rybnik, Poland, Pysz spent more than two decades developing his artistic career abroad, primarily in London and Paris. He is currently sharing his time between Paris, London and Kraków, while continuing to perform and collaborate internationally.

​

After relocating to London in 2003, he established himself on the British and European jazz scenes, forming the Maciek Pysz Trio in 2008 and releasing his debut EP Discoveries. His first full-length album, Insight (33Jazz Records, 2013), recorded at Artesuono Studio in Italy with Yuri Goloubev and Asaf Sirkis, received widespread critical acclaim for its lyrical beauty and cohesive artistic vision.

​

In 2015, he released A Journey (Dot Time Records), featuring Daniele di Bonaventura, Yuri Goloubev and Asaf Sirkis. The album marked the beginning of a long-standing collaboration with the acclaimed Italian bandoneonist and established Pysz as a composer of remarkable sensitivity and expressive depth.

​

His diverse discography includes London Stories (2017, 33Jazz Records with Gianluca Corona), Coming Home (2017, Caligola Records with Daniele di Bonaventura), the solo guitar album A View (Caligola Records, 2019), and Pont de Vie (ABEAT Records, 2026), a critically acclaimed trio recording with Daniele di Bonaventura and Yuri Goloubev that further cemented his reputation as one of Europe's most distinctive contemporary acoustic guitarists.
