Into The Roots

Into The Roots is a Polish group led by trumpeter, composer and multi-instrumentalist Piotr Damasiewicz, with Zbigniew Kozera on double bass and guimbri and Paweł Szpura on drums and frame drum. The trio combines jazz improvisation with folk traditions from the Beskid mountains and the Carpathians, and also draws on African music, which the members took in on trips to Morocco and Tanzania. Into The Roots played its first official concert in Norway, in the Stavanger fjord area.
