„One of the landmarks of history of improvised music is being heralded in Cracow!“ (Andrzej E. Grabowski)
The absolute golden league of improvised music, as well as less famous but still valued groups will be presented during this edition.
There will be two exhibitions and 18 concerts among which more then a half are the projects never presented in Poland or prepared specially for the Festival!
The review of the methods of free improvisation is going to build up a kind of a sound map. We will have a chance to listen to 50 artists from around the World. There will be guests from United States Of America, Norway, China, Sweden, England, Czech Republic, Hungary, Ukraine, Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan, Austria, Spain and Poland.
For the beginning – the performance of Swiss master of drums, Lucas Niggli in duet with Xu Fengxia. Afterwards – the American exciting New Fracture Quartet, then international Basement Research. Next – husband and wife straight from England, Maya Homburger and Barry Guy will present us their unique project.
The real jazz feast will begin with trio Agustí Fernández, Barry Guy, Ramón López whose music never leaves us unresponsive.
And there will be much more: Valentine Trio, Victor Toth Trio, Lee Sloan, Klaus Kugel, Tony Wrafter with valued Ukrainian double bass player Mark Tokar. Gebhard Ullmann, Kölner Saxophone Quartet and Silke Eberhard Trio are the strong representation of German avant-garde scene.
