Staniszewska, Medyna, Winnicki and Ignatowicz on stage at the Greenpoint Jazz Festival in New York
New York's Polish-Slavic Center (CP-S) organized the second edition of the Greenpoint Jazz Festival. Outstanding musicians appeared on stage, including Krzysztof Medyna with Andrzej Winnicki, as well as Margo Staniszewska and Paweł Ignatowicz with their bands.
"It's a real musical feast and a delight for the ears. In fact, these are separate concerts with different styles. Jazz is music for the chosen ones. It was born in America, and in New York its sounds harmonize perfectly with the rhythm of the city," said Marcin Żurawicz, co-organizer of the event.
All the leaders of the festival bands, although born in Poland, develop their talents in the USA and also invite American artists to cooperate.
Saxophonist Medyna and pianist Winnicki are the creators of Komeda Project, which has released two albums with music by Krzysztof Komeda. Their album "Requiem", recorded with double bassist Scott Colley, drummer Nasheet Waits and trumpeter Russ Johnson, was listed among the best jazz albums of 2009 by "The Village Voice" magazine.
Medyna began its Saturday concert with an arrangement of Krzysztof Komeda’s famous lullaby from the film “Rosemary’s Baby.”
"Komeda, thanks to his film music, was once the only recognizable contemporary Polish composer known to American critics. At the beginning of the century, Andrzej and I decided to immerse ourselves in his music and remind everyone of it, and at the same time define who we are. This is our calling card - we are Poles, although we play with Americans," the saxophonist emphasized in an interview with PAP.
Staniszewska, who is a vocalist, explained that she received a Grammy 25 for her participation in rapper Residente's album "Las Terra Ya No Importan". Her debut album "Ashes And Diamonds", released by Truth Revolution Records, featured prominent American jazz artists including David Kikoski, Spike Wilmer and Stacy Dillard.
"We had a great time playing. Great musicians, some of the best of the new generation. There was great, positive energy from the people, and a fantastic audience turned up. The festival has developed a lot," Staniszewska assessed.
Ignatowicz, a guitarist, has performed at legendary jazz clubs such as 55 Bar and Blues Alley. His latest album, Here and Now, is a diverse set of acoustic and electric sounds.
"We really want Polish jazz artists to invite Americans to our beautiful headquarters, with whom they play. We also want to present our activities to the American audience. We want the Centre to be a second home for artists. Today, jazz, and in July we will have hip-hop under our roof," Agnieszka Granatowska, executive director of CP-S, told PAP.
