SLAWEK DUDAR QUARTET SŁAWEK DUDAR – saxophone ROBERT JARMUŻEK – grand piano ADAM KABACIŃSKI - bass WOJTEK BULIŃSKI – drums special guest: ARTUR LESICKI – electric guitar Not longer than a month after the premiere, album INSIDE CITY was chosen as album of a month by FORBES, album of a week by a couple of radio stations and could be found on a list of 10 selected new music albums in TOP JAZZ among names such as Frank Sinatra, Monika Borzym, Los Angeles Trio and European Jazz Union among names such as Paolo Fresu, Artur Dutkiewicz Trio, Bill Naurance, Michiel Borstlap.

Moreover the album has been presented on radio stations in Japan, England, Switzerland, USA, Germany, Australia and Poland. The album is available in shops like : Empik, Saturn, MediaMarkt, in England and Itunes, Deezer, Spotify, Wimp.

New eclectic music material from the album INSIDE CITY is sonically and stylistically very different from the one included on the first album: BRAND NEW WORLD. This is the result of over a two-year long exploration in various areas of music - jazz, drums & bass, experimental music and Indian music. It's a set of genuine compositions by Slawek Dudar.

Dynamism and minimalism, painting with the usage of colours and space, energetic solos of the guitarist, expressive and thoughtful solos of the pianist, with the support of unrestrained playing of the drummer, bass grooves and balanced solos of the saxophonist - that's what characterizes the entire album.

A premiere of a music video , produced by Barlomiej Bartosiewicz from Unia Tworcow, took place in the first week of March.
