A meeting of 3 minds from different backgrounds and different countries; Poland Australia and Scotland. The Divergents are exactly that, they stray from the norm, blending classical, jazz, funk, RnB, fusion, and world beats. Not to be missed! PIANO; Michal Sobkowiak is a Polish born master of classical piano. In Japan he has become widely recognised for his excellence in Chopin recitals and as a music educator and professor of piano. However, Michal has been enthused by Jazz for long and fell in love with the musical form, imbibing it into his very soul, and the result of his meticulous technique and passion for improvisation, his playing is stunning. Michal is not only a force to be reckoned with in the Classical world, but also a real contender in the Jazz circuit too and his compositions and arrangements for his band are both amazing and beautiful.
