achna Tarwid Karch is an unique group where the famous haziness of Jachna’s trumpet meets the elegant sound of the most promising young stars of Polish jazz scene.

Inspired by classical masters including Shostakovich, Debussy and Ravel this distinctive trio has released their critically acclaimed debut, Sundial, in 2014, followed recently by Sundial II on Hevhetia. Their music reaches deep into classical heritage; however, thanks to the exceptional awareness of contemporary styles it becomes actual and powerful. Carefully structured pieces are brought to life by brave, improvisational practices - enclosed within a romantic narration and touching soundscapes.

Wojciech Jachna is a well-established trumpeter and sideman. He performed and recorded over ten albums with different artists, including famous Contemporary Noise Sextet, Sing Sing Penelope, Innercity Ensemble, Dubska and Jachna-Buhl duo. Trained under Piotr Wojtasik, for many years he was performing alongside Andrzej Przybielski. His distinct approach to music was noted and acclaimed by many masters of Polish music - and he’s one of the most experienced Polish trumpeters.

Grzregorz Tarwid has been one of the most exciting young Polish pianists of last years, listed alongside with world-famous Sebastian Zawadzki or Kuba Sokolowski. His stage credits include gigs with Zbigniew Namysłowski, Kazimierz Jonkisz and Piotr Rodowicz. He also performed in a number of countries, however he’s usually based in Denmark, where he studies.

Albert Karch is currently studying in prestigious Rytmisk Musikkonservatorium in Copenhagen. This award-winning young drummer has recently collaborated on a number of albums with many Polish groups. Busy with international tours he previously studied under Czesław Bartkowski at the State Music Academy in Warsaw. In his work he inspires himself with Schubert, Strauss and Bach.
