Lublin Jazz Festival

We invite you to a special concert with the participation of the grandmaster of the Polish jazz scene – Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski.

The Quartet was founded in the mid-nineties. They has had countless concerts, recordings, participation in festivals, as well as many trips abroad, including to the USA and the Mecca of jazzmen of the “Birdland” club. It represents music based on the most classical jazz traditions, not omitting, however, more modern achievements. The band always tries to play dynamically, although lyrical climates are not alien. They run away from all kinds of untested experiments, but also from well-proven patterns. This means that the music is not alienated from the audience. The leader of the formation is Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski, one of the most important and distinguished artists in the history of Polish jazz – an outstanding saxophonist (tenor and baritone), composer, arranger, conductor, publicist, radio journalist, music critic, teacher, announcer. The last albums recorded by the quartet are “Real Jazz” (2005) and “Supercalifragilistic” (2007) – both released by BCD Records.
The band has several faces and line-ups, mostly based on different bass players. Jacek Meira Niedziela was a full-time double bass player for almost 18 years. After that time, he was replaced by Andrzej Święs, who to this day is, the number 1 bass player in the line-up. Sławomir Kurkiewicz and Michał Kapczuk also appear instead of him.
