Gniewomir Tomczyk / Project Live - Quality Jazz Live is the second authorial album of drummer Gniewomir Tomczyk deriving from a fusion of jazz and electronics which premiered November 20th, 2018.

Musical material on this album was registered during a concert that took place as a part of Quality Jazz Live. Musicians of the main line-up (Gniewomir Tomczyk, MIN t, Maciej Kądziela, Zdzisław Kalinowski) are accompanied by string instruments thus enriching and broadening the project’s sound. Additionally, the album contains recordings from concerts in music clubs: BARdzo Bardzo and Grizzly Gin Bar, performances during Jazz Session concerts, as well as a live session in Quality Studio.

The sound of the project oscillates between jazz and electronics. The band performs elaborate, progressive compositions taking from such musical genres as: jazz, avant-jazz, drum'n'bass, dub, trap or ambient. On this album, next to expressive jazz solos, we will hear many diverse sound spaces deriving from current music trends: sharp neo-soul vocal, rap or strong electronic beats.

The album Gniewomir Tomczyk / Project Live - Quality Jazz Live is a cohesive collage of pieces from the debut album Event Horizon and new compositions announcing the third album - Pieces of My Journey.
