The stars of the evening


Maciej Sikała – is one of the top Polish tenor and soprano saxophonists. He has performed and recorded with the best Polish jazzmen (with Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski, Henryk Miśkiewicz, Tomasz Szukalski, Piotr Wojtasik, Jarosław Śmietana, Leszek Kułakowski, Wojciech Karolak) and with outstanding American musicians (Lester Bowie, Kenny Wheelman, Eddie Liebersonch, Reggie Workman). He has recorded about fifty jazz albums, including six original ones, two of which were nominated for the Fryderyk Music Award (The Sheep Is Found, 1999; Another One For, 2004). In the Jazz Top ranking of the "Jazz Forum" magazine, it has occupied the highest positions for many years in the following categories: tenor saxophone and soprano saxophone. He is a habilitated doctor and a lecturer in the jazz saxophone class at the Music Academies in Gdańsk and Bydgoszcz.
Music critics emphasize Sikała's excellent playing technique, mastery of mood handling, as well as subtle references to John Coltrane's style.

“[…] The artist (Maciej Sikała) has to convey not only musical erudition, but also deep thoughts and emotions. Undoubtedly one of the most important Polish tenor saxophonists. […] I really like the sound of his saxophone, bright, transparent, saturated with overtones (Marek Dusza, music critic).

Robert Majewski – is one of the best Polish jazz trumpeters, as well as a composer and arranger. He has performed with almost all Polish jazz stars, as well as with artists such as: N.H.O.Pedersen, Clark Terry, Nicolas Payton, Roy Hargrove, Palle Danielsson, Gary Bartz, Mino Cinelu, Peter Herbolzhaimer, Django Bates, Billy Hart. He performed with Ewa Bem, Hanna Banaszak, Katarzyna Groniec, Anna Maria Jopek, Kasia Kowalska, Grzegorz Turnau, Marek Grechuta, Grzegorz Ciechowski, Michał Bajor, he collaborated with film music composers: Zbigniew Preisner, Jan Kanty Pawluśkiewicz, Krzesimir Dębski. Until 2005, together with his father, Henryk Majewski, he had played in the traditional jazz group Old Timers. His solo album "My One And Only Love" recorded with Bobo Stenson, Plle Danielsson and Joey Baron won the Fryderyk Music Award in the 2012 Jazz Album category. He is the laureate of many national and international competitions.

“The sound of Robert Majewski's trumpet is one of the best I've ever heard. This is not the sharp, aggressive sound that can be heard from many trumpet players, it is very open and warm. It is enough to hear two notes of music and you know that it is played by Robert Majewski "(Nigel Kennedy, violin virtuoso).

Cezary Konrad - is a jazz drummer, composer, arranger, session musician. He has collaborated with many foreign musicians of great format, such as: Pat Metheny, Karrin Allyson, Randy Brecker, Deborah Brown, Didier Lockwood, Nippy Noya, Susan Weinert, as well as with Polish musicians: Leszek Możdżer, Zbigniew Namysłowski, Tomasz Stańko, Anna Maria Jopek, Marek Napiórkowski, Grzegorz Turnau, Dorota Miśkiewicz. He has performed with the Warsaw Percussion Group, the Polish Radio Orchestra, with the Sinfonia Varsovia orchestra and the Kalisz Philharmonic. Continuously since 1992, he has been winning the "Jazz Top" rankings in the Best Polish Jazz Drummer category. In 2014, he became a co-winner of the American music award – GRAMMY AWARD 2014. He has recorded nearly 100 albums. It is famous for unusual improvisations: on a package of pasta, foil bags, glasses, children's instruments or a piano lid

Czarek Konrad is a drummer whose imagination goes far beyond the standard percussion scheme. [...] In his playing, everything flows smoothly, lifting the given compositions, thus creating the impression of very volatile and fresh arrangements ”. (quoted after: Magazyn Perkusista)

The Szczecin Philharmonic Big Band was founded in autumn 2017 on the initiative of Igor Pushkar, the bass trombonist of the Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic in Szczecin. It is made up of musicians from the Orchestra and leading instrumentalists from the music community in Szczecin and Poznań. The band performs a variety of jazz and entertainment music
