Jazzy Warsaw

Warsaw Jazz

Warsaw Summer Jazz Days (from 30 June to 8 July 2009) began with the performances of the legendary Art Ensemble Of Chicago, the Wadady Leo Smith Quartet and the World Saxophone Quartet. There is  more to come. We will have the chance to listen to exquisite singers such as Dianne Reeves, Angelique Kidjo, Lizz Wright and Liza Celeste Stroud singing Nina Simone’s compositions. This year, Mariusz Adamiak’s Concert Agency have organised three big events in the Congress Hall in Warsaw. After Wednesday evening with  African-American stage veterans from Chicago, jazz fans will have the opportunity to take part in a gala concert on Thursday and on Friday John Zorna, the New York saxophonist, will perform with Anthony Braxton and Bill Laswell. Some smaller concerts will also take place in Powiększenie and Królikarnia. On July 8, Tymon Tymański and the trumpet player Dave Douglas will give a concert. Randy Brecker and the Symphony Orchestra of the Opera and Philharmonic Orchestra in Białystok are to perform Włodek Pawlik’s jazz suite. As Mariusz Adamiak said on Wednesday about the Afro-American performance, “the concert was not a commercial success but it was most certainly a musical one”.
