Kuba Cichocki

Born: August 5, 1984

The New York-based, Polish pianist and composer, Kuba Cichocki specializes in merging that which is often kept at odds: the classic and the avant-garde, the technical and the emotional; the rigorously written and the spontaneously performed. One of the exceptional talents to emerge from the Eastern European jazz scene in the late 2000s, Cichocki has persistently matured a personal style over the course of his career, leading him from—in his youth—touring and recording work with European stars Zbigniew Namysłowski, Michael Urbaniak, and Ursula Dudziak to—now, in his adulthood—groundbreaking experiments that throw even New York’s brightest musicians into uncharted territory.
