Product May Contain, the winner of the Grand Prix in the 2023 Jazz Individuality Contest “Jazz nad Odrą”, will give two concerts in Greece at prestigious jazz festivals: on May, 31 (9:00 pm) at Athens Jazz in Technopolis and on June, 1 (9:00 pm ) in Preveza, at the Preveza Jazz Festival.

Product May Contain is a trio of young musicians whose main goal is to create spaces, both tight and vast. In their work you may find the influences of jazz, folk, ambient and chamber music working together with the sound of vibraphone, double bass and ethnic percussion instruments. From this mosaic emerges an original and personal story about finding beauty within the ambiguity of unstable times.

Tymon Kosma – vibraphonist, student of the Academy of Music in Katowice. He won awards both as a soloist and as a member of bands at many festivals and competitions, e.g.: Young Crocus Jazz Contest (individual award), Junior Młyn Jazz Festival (1st place with the Kosmonauci band), Italy PAS Percussion Competition (First Prize Absolute – category: vibraphone). An individual approach to music, enthusiasm and spontaneity determine his artistic path.

Filip Botor – double bass player and bass guitarist of the young generation, student of the Academy of Music in Katowice. Fascinated by the broad concept of music, various traditions, the spectrum of acoustic and electronic sounds. In addition to participating in the Product May Contain (Kosma/Botor/Borgiel) and RGFX (Wypasek/Botor/Antoniak) projects, he also works as a sideman and composer.

Mateusz Borgiel – percussionist, student of the Jazz Department of the Academy of Music in Katowice. When playing, he combines the sound possibilities of drums and ethnic instruments, blending rhythmic invention with sensitivity to timbre. He draws inspiration particularly from the music of Latin America and the Middle East.

The concert is supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Athens and Adam Mickiewicz Institute.

Free entrance.
