Maciek Grzywacz Quartet
Featuring Tyler Hornby

East meets west as Polish guitarist Maciek Grzywacz teams up with Canadian drummer Tyler Hornby in this driving contemporary jazz quartet that leaves all borders behind.

Maciek is a graduate of the Fryderyk Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw Poland as well as the Higher School of Music in Munich Germany. After receiving his diploma from the Munich school, he was invited to join the Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now Foundation, and performed in Germany as a classical guitarist.

Maciek has two solo albums to his credit, Things Never Done, that features New York trumpeter Avashai Cohen and Forces Within, recorded with drummer Hornby.

As co-founder of the group (0-58) he had two subsequent albums nominated for Jazz Album of the Year. In addition to touring Europe, Maciek is an in-demand session musician and has also taken part in recordings of film and theatre music.

Calgary’s Tyler Hornby is no stranger to Medicine Hat, having appeared here several times, including performances with Terrain as well as the Hutchinson/Andrew Trio. Tyler is one of the busiest drummers in Alberta and his recent collaboration with Grzywacz is opening international doors for him.

Rounding out this ensemble are Maciej Sikala on saxophone and Piotr Lemanczyk on bass.
