FUSION FEST | Julia Przybysz Bachelor of Arts Recital

For the past 3 years, I've been studying jazz at Academy of Music in Gdańsk, Poland. On the 8th of June 2023, a time has come for me and my friend Michał to play our B.A. recitals. Since we both love jazz-rock music, we decided to play our recitals in a row and name the whole gig a "Fusion Fest".
We had a pleasure to play in one of our favorite music spots in Tricity - Teatr BOTO.

Track list:
Billy Cobham - Cancun Market
Snarky Puppy - Lingus
Level 42 - Dune Tune
Toto - Jake to the Bone
Wojtek Pilichowski - Bass Dance

Band:
Julia Przybysz - bass guitar
Michał Rajca - guitar
Adam Kisiel - keys
Jędrzej Szmelter - drums
Maksymilian Wilk - saxophone
Szymon Kowalik - saxophone

Cameras & Editing: Stefan Głośnik
Audio Mixing: Julia Przybysz

Thanks for watching!

The internet is a weird place. I'm here teary-eyed watching a music school recital half-way around the world, and I'm so proud of you, Julia. It's been an absolute pleasure to watch you play all these years!

For those that don't speak Polish, she said "don't forget to subscribe and be sure to slap that like button"

From the teenager self teaching herself bass in her bedroom to this. Incredible. 😮😊

Nothing worth having ever comes easy Julia, but you make it look so effortless.

Six years ago in a state of dark depression I saw Julia play on YouTube and I don't what it was about her playing but I picked up my bass and never looked back.Thank you, !!!

[atubebuff]

See speaks! And what a sultry voice, damn!

[lowstringc]

When you were a kid I thought you were older, now you seem younger than you are, but you have always had artistry and musicality far beyond your years. What a privilege we have had listening to you over the years, what a milestone this is for you, and what a killer way to pass it along to us! Great choice on the green jacket by the way, you stand out in just the right way on stage.

Aha, today it's called fusion, 50 years ago it was called "return to forever" or "Zappa´s mother of invention"😋
Dear Yulia, that's really absolutely amazing, especially your bass playing is outstanding and you are highly gifted.
I just admired your "like a prayer" cover and thought that you have the makings of a great jazz bassist. And here you are. You can really compete with greats like Hellborg, Vitous, Clarke, etc. You and your guys are absolutely awesome..And Poland has one of the best jazz schools in the world!!!
I wish the "Polish Jaco Pastorius" and her band all the best of their career.

I love that no matter the bass player, the lean back during a hard riff is universal.

[garywatson]

Congrats on the BA! I think this is the first time I've seen you stand up next to another person. You are concentrated awesomeness!

[kawonnowak]

Shout out to all the band members! What a fantastic set! That guitarist deserves some serious respect. And Julia, what a brilliant performance. Tour dates please!!

[lukewalden]

We are all so proud of you from around the world!
