All of the Polish artists who performed on stage at the Polish-Slavic Center are artists who are already well-known for their musical works, and not only among the Polish diaspora. In addition to their additional musical style, they have one more thing in common. Although they were all born in Poland, they have been developing their careers in the United States until late in life. The opportunity to see and hear so many renowned artists in one place is a great treat for ordinary jazz.

It will be a real musical feast and a delight for the ears – said Marcin Żurawicz, co-organizer of the events. All the festival performers play jazz, but in reality there will be 4 concerts of alternative style. What will be common is the best quality of music. Jazz has always been a style for the chosen ones and I mean the fighters as well as the recipients.

Jazz, however, was born in America and New York is a special place, where the sounds of jazz music harmonize exceptionally well with the rhythm of this city. I am glad that artists representing such a high level will play at the Polish-Slavic Center in Greenpoint and I warmly invite everyone to this event.
