Imagination Quartet

Imagination Quartet is an expressive music project launched in 2009. Though it clearly relies on classic jazz esthetics, it does not let itself be trapped in music standards and common expectations. Drawing extensively on improvised, experimental music, IQ plays energetic, passionate, direct jazz, which will also surprise the listener with humorous taunts. Just as the name of the band says, it is a music full of imagination, rich, unlimited, sitting where the line between harmony and frantic expression gets blurred. Imagination Quartet has already played over 60 concerts, among others the finals of Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Jazz po polsku Festival in China, Germany, Krokus Jazz Festival, Jazz Juniors and Dreszer Jazz Festival. In June 2010 they performed during the opening event of World Press Photo. Lineup: Michał Sołtan (guitar), Damian Pińkowski (sax), Dariusz Świtalski (bass), Maciej Dziedzic (drums). 21st November 2011 Imagination Quartet released their debut album under the label of Anaconda Productions. The album, available on the Polish market and in online distribution at iTunes, Amazon.com, summarizes the hitherto activity of the band. It includes 11 original compositions, explicitly basing on jazz esthetics, while retaining its special, unique character. In 2015 band realased their second album "Mallada".
