Choose Your Boots is a summing up of a large part of my widespread activities as a musician for the past 20 years. For me the result not only reaches into the past but also into the future.
The title is a rhyme on the Charles Mingus album title “Blues and Roots”, and this 
music is a kind of return, after many years in the “Scandinavian jazz-land”, to my American jazz roots, and a kind of homage to one of my great idols, Charles Mingus.
I tried to create some of the same blood, sweat and tears feeling as in his music.
For the first time I build all the music around grooves and bass lines. I would fool around with my bass, change is tuning, and found a couple of nice bass-grooves. Then I recorded them, and listened to them, while jamming at the piano or with my saxophone.

01 On The Road To Anywhere

02 The Long Haul

Tryumfy Króla Niebieskiego feat. Tomasz Dąbrowski

Tomasz Dąbrowski FREE4ARTS — Six Months and Ten Drops features seven original compositions, rich in strong ideas and unconventional musical solutions. The music is melodic and multidimensional, inspired by Tibetan chants, slavic heritage and European third stream jazz and avant-garde scene. It has a personal touch and a Scandinavian sense of space. Compositions were written for this specific lineup with one idea: to highlight the musicians’ unique voices and create a band, where the sound of one individual loses its meaning without a context.

Full track from the album "Ninjazz" by Tomasz Dąbrowski AD HOC. Album released on LP/DL June 15th 2018.

THE JAZZ NINJA
Yet Another (following Steps, Vermilion Tree and Radical Moves) Tomasz Dąbrowski project published by our label, this time it’s a vinyl recorded with a great team, including the following Japanese musicians: the legendary pianist Hiroshi Minami, double-bass player Hiroko Chiba and the drummer Hiroshi Tsuboi. This is the second joint project of the Ad Hoc Quartet, which was formed in 2014, when Tomasz Dąbrowski first visited Japan. Their first album was titled Strings, it was released in 2015. The music from said album was performed during two concert tours in Japan.

A Ninja symbolises the highest level of craftsmanship and refinement in martial arts. A Ninja is a warrior enveloped in a mysterious nimbus – a master of intuition, elusiveness, as well as the unexpected, he is the unseen... consistently and with unerring precision hitting his mark.

How can this album be described? What is this unique Polish-Japanese interaction of thought and sound? "I never dreamed that I’ll have a Japanese band, just like I never expected it to be so easy to create without using verbal communication. Ad Hoc is a band of no words, while its music pours like a wide stream with little use of formal composition, when compared with my previous albums. The Ninjazz album is an important point in my artistic development, it is a full-blown and thought-out album, which very aptly portrays the position of Ad Hoc at this moment, as well as the direction of my artistic exploration. [...] The pieces are so constructed and have such flow as to effectively introduce Slavic melancholy to Japanese audiences, which the Japanese people really appreciate in music, all of this is combined with guided improvisation. Japanese people are typically very reserved, they don’t usually express emotions... that means that those emotions, which every person possesses have to find an outlet somehow. And this is what happens when we play. I have an overwhelming feeling that this Japanese restraint works very well within the context of this band..." - that's what Tomasz Dąbrowski had to say about the project. (FOR TUNE®)

Tomasz Dąbrowski - trumpet // Hiroshi Minami - piano // Hiroki Chiba - double bass & electronics // Tsuboi Hiroshi - drums
