Nowa Muzyka Żydowska is one of the most recent events on the Polish jazz and improvised music scene, but its creative program has already brought it a strong and well-grounded position.
The core of the festival is its special projects, created especially for the event and realizing in various ways the ideas of the new Jewish music. Those include the premieres of some leading Polish improvisers like Sefardix Trio (Marcin Oleś / Jorgos Skolias / Bartłomiej Oleś), Malerai (Michał Górczyński / Dagna Sadkowska / Mikołaj Pałosz / Marcin Masecki), Zikaron Lefanay (Mikołaj Trzaska / Michał Górczyński / Paweł Szamburski / Wacław Zimpel) or Wojciech Mazolewski. The festival has also hosted several international stars of the genre: Watcha Clan, Kabbalah, and The Sway Machinery.
