Komeda Jazz Festival is an enterprise constantly seeking new paths in jazz. For years organizers have been inviting a stylistically wide range of artists: those from the yass scene to those dealing with the mixture of jazz and folk music of Poland and all over the world.
An integral part of the festival is The Krzysztof Komeda Composers’ Competition (every two years) promoting young talents from outside the commercial circle for whom the universal language of jazz is a common wealth, joining various national music experiences.
Komeda Jazz Festival Has hosted the greatest world jazz stars: Marc Ribot, Larry Coryell, Keith Dunn, Steve Grover, Andy Manndorff, Henry Grimes, Billy Harper, Eddie Henderson, Andy Sheppard, Billy Drummond, Chad Taylor, Joey Calderazzo, Bobo Stenson, Peter Beets, Carla Bley and The Schulldogs.
