Daniel Bulatkin International Quartet (CZ/USA/FR)
Pianist and organist Daniel Bulatkin, residing in the Netherlands since 2021, is one of the leading voices of Czech jazz. Born in 1999, Daniel has been blessed to work since the start with his local role models, as well as tour regularly with foreign names on prestigious stages all over Europe. This has soon culminated in collaborations with jazz and fusion superstars such as Justin Faulkner, Will Vinson, David Friedman, Ulf Wakenius, Gary Husband, Tineke Postma, Gergo Borlai and others.
As a versatile sideman and captivating leader, Daniel has performed in over 25 countries on 3 continents. Dubbed a “rising star” and “extreme talent” by his contemporaries as well as critics, Daniel has two records (Drifter Days and The New Beginning) out under his name, both featured on the Czech radio’s critics polls as some of the best in their respective years. He also co-produced the ambitious debut album of US vocalist Allison Wheeler – Winterspring (listed among Top 6 best albums of 2022 worldwide by All About Jazz). His most recent album Praying for More Songs to Come (2025), a collaboration with fiery saxophonist Gilad Atzmon, is gathering acclaim across Europe & beyond.
Aside from his instrumental skills, Daniel is also a budding compositional talent – his piece “The Simple Things” featuring Seamus Blake won the OSA “Best Czech Jazz Composition” award in 2024, while another of his pieces “Lady of the Lake” is a part of the repertoire of the Jazz Dock Orchestra – one of Czech Republic’s leading big bands. Since Fall 2025, Daniel has also become a member of RADIOACTIVE – the new European touring band of saxophone luminary Dayna Stephens.
