HfMT jazz guitarist David Grabowski receives the IB.SH-JazzAward 2018, which will be presented on June 22nd at the Jazz Baltica festival in Timmendorfer Strand.

The five-member jury was particularly quick to agree this time, said the Artistic Director of Jazz Baltica, Swedish trombonist Nils Landgren: "What convinced us all was that David is such a versatile musician and has a general interest in music. What we call it then is not so super important."
David Grabowski has immortalized his aesthetic ideas with his eponymous quartet on the recently released album "Land in Sight". Here, complex rhythms and catchy melodies, dreamy textures and unpredictable harmonies go hand in hand.
David is also active in other formations: as a singer, guitarist and composer in the pop quartet Pudeldame, as a banjo player in the New Orleans jazz combo The Ragtime Bandits, in a fusion jazz band with the Australian trombonist Cam Buma and in a duo with the jazz singer Cleo Steinberger, who studies at the HfMT.
The David Grabowski Quartet can be heard live at the Elbjazz Festival 2018 on June 2
