Spice Jazz Soho: Maciek Pysz Quartet – Pont De Vie Album Launch

After 25 years of solid jazz promoting, as founded by Paul Pace, at the Spice of Life Soho, nurturing upcoming talents as well as established masters of the music, the SpiceJazz Team (Tara Minton and Clement Regert) are excited to relocate their acclaimed operation to the well-appointed and stylish music room of Crazy Coqs.

Join internationally acclaimed guitarist and composer Maciek Pysz for a special London concert celebrating the forthcoming release of his new album, Pont De Vie, out in March 2026 on ABeat Records.

For this exclusive preview at Crazy Coqs, Maciek brings together a remarkable quartet featuring Charles Kieny on accordion, John Turville on piano, and Yuri Goloubev on double bass.

Blending lyrical melodies, cinematic soundscapes and the subtle pulse of jazz and European folk traditions, Pont De Vie is a deeply personal work that reflects Maciek’s life between cities, cultures and musical worlds. Audiences will be among the first to hear this new repertoire performed live, with the quartet’s interplay bringing the music’s colours and emotions vividly to life.

Expect an evening of elegance, warmth and expressive musicianship in one of London’s most atmospheric venues.

Line up:
Maciek Pysz: Guitar
John Turville: Piano
Yuri Goloubev: Double-bass
