music isnt my strong point ;) so maybe I will start ;)


Frédéric Chopin (Polish: Fryderyk (Franciszek) Chopin, sometimes Szopen; French: Frédéric (François) Chopin; English surname pronunciation: IPA: /ʃoʊpæn/ or /ʃoʊpæ̃/; March 1, 1810, Żelazowa Wola – October 17, 1849, Paris) was a Polish piano composer of the Romantic period. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers for piano of all time.


Before Chopin's funeral, pursuant to his dying wish, his heart was removed (he dreaded being buried alive) to be taken by his sister in an urn to Warsaw. There it remains sealed within a pillar of the Holy Cross Church (Kościół Świętego Krzyża) on Krakowskie Przedmieście, beneath an inscription from Matthew VI:21: "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

OK so maybe sth about Polish Jazz

Krzysztof Komeda

Krzysztof Komeda (born Krzysztof Trzciński 8 April 1931 in Poznań – 23 April 1969 in Warsaw) was a Polish film music composer and jazz pianist. He wrote the scores for Roman Polański’s films Rosemary’s Baby, Knife in the Water and Cul-de-sac.

Michał Urbaniak (born June 22, 1943) is a Polish jazz musician and composer born in Warsaw, playing mainly the violin, lyricon and saxophone during concerts and recordings. He played a central role in the development of jazz fusion in the 1970s and 1980s, and has introduced elements of folk, R&B, hip hop, and symphonic music to jazz.

Urbaniak was now playing on a custom-made, five string violin furnished especially for him, on a violin synthesizer, and on a lyricon. His fusion with a hint of folklore was becoming popular among the leaders of American jazz, and also provided occasions for many new musicians (Harold Williams, Steve Jordan, Marcus Miller, Kenny Kirkland). He started to play in well known clubs such as Village Vanguard and Village Gate, in famous concert halls such as Carnegie Hall. In this period he played with such stars as Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, George Benson, and Billy Cobham.

Urbaniak has invited and has been invited by many other well known jazz stars, including Lenny White, Wayne Shorter, Marcus Miller, Joe Zawinul, Ron Carter, and Quincy Jones. In 1985, he was invited to play during the recording of Tutu with the father of fusion, Miles Davis. Davis is reported to have said on this occasion: "Get me this ******* Polish fiddler!"

Besides playing solo, he has worked with such musicians as Michał Urbaniak and Leszek Możdżer. His technical mastery has been compared to that of Art Tatum and Errol Garner, among others.

Leszek Możdżer (b. March 3, 1971, Gdańsk) is a leading Polish jazz pianist. He has worked with such artists as Zbigniew Namysłowski, Jan A. P. Kaczmarek, Zbigniew Preisner, Kazik Staszewski, Pat Metheny, David Gilmour, Behemoth and Lester Bowie. His most popular recordings are perhaps his "Impressions," subtle new interpretations of Chopin's compositions. His recordings are the most popular jazz albums in Poland.

Great tunes, but... their instruments sound much better than their vocal.
It maybe actually good that the vocal drowns in the music, but still, their sound engineer could use some help form a pro.

I never remember the names of the artists, but I have an LP of Polish Jazz.
It is also very good. It kicks the arse of the Czech and Russian jazz compilations I have.

I saw Waldemar Malicki on television, and he was very entertaining. I'm hopeful that he will visit Chicago again.

Just watched a documentry on british TV about the Warsaw Village Band,mazovian folk tunes with a twist,still prefer Goral(sp) music but their lead singer/celist has a haunting voice,sort of deep south blues mixed with gypsy soul .and its always good to see cymbalines and hurdy gurrdys on telly ;)

As far as composers go Szymanowski is surely one of the best.
