EABS reinterprets the Polish jazz tradition through an exciting fusion of hip-hop, contemporary jazz and electronic music. EABS started its musical activity in 2012 as Electro-Acoustic Beat Sessions in the now defunct Puzzle club in Wrocław, where local musicians were busy "reconstructing the prefabricated hip-hop deconstruction of jazz". Such a sophisticated initiative was the band's starting point more than a decade ago. EABS have released about an album a year since then and have performed on numerous European and North American stages. Their latest album, Reflections of Purple Sun, is a return to the roots of Polish jazz, taking over the entire Purple Sun album by Tomasz Stańko, signed Tomasz Stańko half a century ago. To pay homage to one of the most iconic figures of Polish jazz, they have embarked on a "non-verbal conversation with the Slav spirit that was, without a doubt, the master Tomasz Stańko".
