Tomasz Białowolski

Born: June 22, 1990

Jazz pianist, accompanist, and educator from Zamość, where he received formal music training from the elementary through secondary levels. He later graduated from the Henryk Majewski Jazz School in Warsaw (jazz piano with Wojciech Majewski) and the Academy of Music in Kraków (jazz piano with Joachim Mencel).

His improvisational language grows out of bebop, disciplined sound, and a love of lyrical phrasing and tradition. Over the years it has been shaped by collaborations with many artists and ensembles: Białowolski / Szwugier / Skrzyński, Paulski / Białowolski Quartet (Pick Yourself Up, 2019), the project To Muniak With Love (To Muniak With Love, 2019), New Brand Quintet (New Brand Quintet, 2021); currently the Tomasz Białowolski Trio and a duo with vocalist Judyta Pisarczyk. He has also performed alongside Janusz Muniak, Leszek Żądło, Lora Szafran, Marian Pawlik, Marcin Ślusarczyk, and Basia Stępniak­‑Wilk.

Unleashed Cooperation

Unleashed Cooperation is a boundary-pushing jazz collective rooted in Poland, known for its dynamic interplay, genre-defying compositions, and deep commitment to collaborative creation. Formed by a group of seasoned musicians with years of shared experience, the ensemble thrives on trust, spontaneity, and mutual respect — values that are reflected in both their name and their music.

Their debut album, 8 Years, captured the essence of long-term musical dialogue. It offered a raw yet refined portrait of the group’s chemistry, blending collective improvisation with structured composition. The record introduced listeners to their wide emotional range — from meditative calm to rhythmic complexity — and laid the foundation for their evolving sonic identity.
