Weird Heaven is the third album by Kamil Piotrowicz Sextet, with Tomasz Dabrowski on trumpet, Kuba Wiecek on alto saxophone, Piotr Checki on tenor saxophone, Andrzej Swies on double bass, Krzysztof Szmanda on drums, vibraphone, and Kamil Piotrowicz as a pianist, composer. It comprises 9 compositions written between 2019-2021 which were premiered at a special concert at the Polish Radio Program 2 in Warsaw in April 2021.

The music opens a fresh perspective on the relationship between improvisation and composition, where strong, pop-like melodies, vocalised autotune, sonoristic, collective sounds and minimalistic, repetitive motives contrast to transport the listener to a place of infinite possibilities, silly feelings, hard logic and unreasonable dreams.

Kamil Piotrowicz Sextet's Weird Heaven will premiere live on June 21 and 22 at Dizzy's Club, Jazz at Lincoln Center during the 6th  Jazztopad Festival New York.
