Pulawski (1991) stands out with his virtuoso guitar skills and the freedom with which his compositions move. Despite being overcome by the romanticism he is certainly not avoiding the confrontation with challenging, vague improvisations. In the shadow of the jazz tradition he\u2019s dosing his jazzy orchestral chord work with the melodic, sharp solos, where his fabulous technique calls up the memories of the legendary Wim Overgaauw.<\/p>\nErno Elsinga, Jazzenzo, November 2017<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Like a common thread there runs the moon through Mateusz\u2019s music. Therefore Pulawski founded the Lunar Quartet and with this group he released his debut album \u2018Half Moon Heart\u2019 in December 2014, which got him the attention of the jazz press and radio stations inside and outside of The Netherlands.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitarist Pulawski accompanies with splendid harmonies and a lot of jazz feeling. In his solos he is sharp and melodious and he alternates between single-note lines and chords.<\/p>\nJan Jasper Tamboer, Het Parool, August 2014<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
