Marek Pospieszalski Oktet + Anna Pašić & Tamara Kurkiewicz | POL
In recent years, Marek Pospieszalski has emerged as a leading force in the Polish jazz and improvisational scene. Undeterred, Marek Pospieszalski carves his own lane in Polish jazz and improvisation. His music boldly shatters expectations, garnering acclaim not just in Poland but internationally. The music world took notice in 2022 with the release of a groundbreaking double album showcasing Polish avant-garde composers from the 20th century. A skilled saxophonist who thrives in collaboration, Pospieszalski excels across various formats, from solo performances to his ongoing duo project Malediwy with Kuba Janicki. However, his true passion lies in large ensembles, typically eight or even ten members strong, as seen at our festival. In this setting, Pospieszalski and his bandmates weave a tapestry of powerful sounds, embarking on incredible sonic journeys fueled by dynamic improvisation. Guest artists harpist Anna Pašić and contemporary percussionist Tamara Kurkiewicz will further enrich the ensemble’s sonic palette during his Lublin performance.
