After three years of jazz studies, pianist Simon Dluzewski graduates from the Royal Academy of Music.

In his thesis, Simon has composed new music for jazz piano trio + soprano saxophone with inspiration from Bulgarian choral music and the Greek rebetika tradition. The music will be premiered during the graduation concert on April 2 in Lilla Salen. With jazz as a starting point, Simon paints with a distinct and very personal tonal language. His music is rhythmically driven and plays with odd periods, time signature changes, and complex dynamics. Lyrical parts coexist with fast-paced sections in a music that, in its strong artistic focus, touches and lingers.
