Lublin Jazz Festival

POKUSA jazz, friendship, experiment. The band was formed in 2012. Their sound draws on the uncompromising nature of free jazz, combining it with influences from electronic and experimental music, as well as hip-hop. Pokusa released their first album, ZERO, in 2013 at Casablanca Studios. The second, EINZ, was released in 2018 at LADO ABC. With this album, the trio played a tour in Germany and Belgium, many concerts in Poland, as well as at festivals: OFF Festival, Jazz Jantar, Jazz nad Odrą, Inne Brzmienia, Unsound. In 2020, a cassette released by DREAMLAND SYNDICATE premiered; it was the first installment of the Live at Pogłos (RIP) series. The band also performed in an expanded line-up – Pokusa XXL, inviting the most interesting figures of many generations of Polish music (Piotr Pawlak, Kuba Więcek, Tomasz Duda, Dominika Korzeniecka, Gosia Wrzosek, Miron Grzegorkiewicz). The third album – D.W.A., recorded in the summer of 2020 at the legendary Zolton/Morton studio, was released in 2021. After the last album, there was a break for the musicians to develop outside the band, including in the line-ups of Teo Olter Quintet, Maja Laura Septet, Artificialice, Tropical Soldiers in Paradise, Natan Kryszk Solo, and Robert Diabeł, only to return soon with new material.
