Jazz versions of Frederic Chopin’s works have a long tradition in Poland. Already in the seventies Novi Singers<\/em> sang Chopin, and Mieczys\u0142aw Kosz<\/em> played paraphrases of several works. But it was not until the nineties that the real jazz boom to Chopin’s jazz began. The forerunner was Andrzej Jagodzi\u0144ski<\/em> and his Trio. Later othes jazzmen like: Adam Makowicz, Krzysztof Herdzin, W\u0142odzimierz Nahorny, Leszek Mo\u017cd\u017cer<\/em> struggled with Chopin’s material. All these studies concerned small musical staff \u2013 from the solo piano Makowicz<\/em> or Mo\u017cd\u017cer<\/em> to the Nahorny<\/em> sextet.<\/p>\n The latest project of Warsaw jazzmen is the first attempt to transpose Chopin into a jazz quartet, jazz vocalist and symphony orchestra. This is a unique approach, both in terms of the treatment of Chopin’s material and the size of the executive apparatus.<\/p>\n The project is attendet by leading representatives of Polish jazz music and the French vocalist and saxophonist Marc Thomas<\/em><\/a><\/span>. The participation of the French artist in the implementation of the project is intentional because of the Polish-French themes of Frederic Chopin’s life and work. Jazz musicians are accompanied by a symphony orchestra.<\/p>\n The aims of the project’s creators were to promote Polish national culture by presenting in a modern, unconventional form the work of one of the greatest composers in the world, artistic search for non-standard forms of expression for Frederic Chopin’s work, and the interest of contemporary viewers of Polish national culture by showing it in a new light.<\/p>\n
