Intl Jazz Platform is a first of its kind project in Poland, which gathers the best creative jazz musicians. The faculty includes artists known for their international achievements on international jazz scene as well as their openness and improvisational skills. Participation in the platform is a professional and educational breakthrough for many students. First class infrastructure for music creation provided by Wytwórnia and the great faculty representing the top European improvised jazz scene make the time spent here a unique experience on a personal and professional level.
This year we are going to meet in Wytwórnia for the 6th time. Once again, the best European jazz musicians will come to Łódź and work with international faculty. During the four summer days in July, 40 participants will improve their skills, gain experience and learn from the top musicians representing European improvised scene.
We are especially proud that Kit Downes, pianist and composer, considered one of the most promising young British jazz pianists of his generation, will join our faculty this year. Moreover, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, one of the most important performers of his instrument in the avant-jazz and improvised music world, know from such bands like The Thing or Atomic, is also going to take part in the 6th edition in Intl Jazz Platform. Samuel Blaser, the most versatile and interesting trombone player of young European generation, is also a new faculty member in 2018.
Last, but not least, we’ve invited a particularly interesting Norwegian trio for the special Tuesday concert. Bushman’s Revenge with Even Helte Hermansen on guitar, Rune Nergaard on bass and Gard Nilssen on drums, mixes the energy of rock with the freedom of jazz in the most exciting and exhilarating ways.
Intl Jazz Platform aims at becoming one of the most important educational initiatives in Europe, which motives for further development, respects and encourages diversity, offers inspirational conditions for work and, above all, guarantees a great artistic time.
It provides an opportunity for musicians to meet, share their experiences, establish international contacts and learn from each other. The core aspect of the scheme is a partnership relation between students and members of faculty. We would like to continue departing from the master-student approach to artistic education by providing an opportunity for students to play and create music, share ideas, spend time together. Intl Jazz Platform is a much needed bridge between study-time and professional life.
We are waiting for applications from musicians interested in participation in the sixth edition of Intl Jazz Platform.
