Raphael Rogiński (Poland)

STATE COLLEGE PA // Gorinto & Secret Planet Presents

Presented in partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute New York

Brilliant Polish guitarist and composer Raphael Rogiński brings his singular, searching sound to Manny’s for an intimate evening of deep listening and exploration.

Rogiński bends time and tradition, weaving jazz, folk, spirituals, and free improvisation into something entirely his own. His work has earned Best Album recognition from Pitchfork, including his acclaimed reinterpretations of John Coltrane’s music, alongside musical reflections inspired by the poetry of Langston Hughes. Rather than offering straightforward homage, Rogiński approaches these legacies with restraint and curiosity, creating music that feels both reverent and newly alive.

This is music that rewards attention, unfolding slowly and deliberately. At times sparse and searching, it invites close listening and becomes quietly immersive — raw, deeply human, and completely absorbing. As one listener put it: “I’ve never heard guitar played like this before.”

Opening the evening is Pat Coyle, a Pennsylvania-based songwriter and drummer whose solo work blends melancholy dream pop with explosive, improvisatory free jazz through voice and drums, creating intimate performances that live at the edge of structure and release.

Pat Coyle: 7:30 PM

Raphael Rogiński: 8:30 PM
