For the fourth time, a special edition of Wrocław’s Jazztopad Festival will bring leading Polish jazz artists to the United States, in partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute New York and with support from the Adam Mickiewicz Institute. This October, multi-award-winning artists Waclaw Zimpel, Piotr Orzechowski and Kuba Więcek Trio will perform in New York. Jazztopad Festival will also present an additional concert at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage in Washington DC on October 1 – Piotr Orzechowski Solo.
Jazztopad Festival, the leading event of its kind in Poland, has organized its satellite editions all over the world (Japan, Turkey, South Korea) in collaboration with such partners as Jarasum International Jazz Festival, Tokyo Jazz Festival, Akbank Jazz Festival, TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival and, for the last four years, with Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. For fourteen years, the festival has been commissioning music from some of the most important American artists including Wayne Shorter, Charles Lloyd, Jason Moran, William Parker, Vijay Iyer and Terence Blanchard. The international creative partnerships of Jazztopad include such prestigious organizations as Jazz at Lincoln Center, Monterey Jazz Festival, Kennedy Center, London Jazz Festival and LA Philharmonic. Live recordings from the festival have been released on ECM and Blue Note Records.
The American edition of Jazztopad Festival is above all an opportunity to discover the most important artists from the Polish contemporary jazz scene which has been a strongly recognizable brand in the world, both in terms of quality of festivals and the craft of artists.
The American edition of the Jazztopad Festival is presented by the National Forum of Music, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute and the Polish Cultural Institute New York.
