Leszek Możdżer with “Komeda”: jazz piano and original interpretations of film themes

Critics describe Leszek Możdżer’s “Komeda” as an entirely individual and original project, comprising musical variations based on the work of the Polish jazz legend. It is also Możdżer’s solo debut for German label ACT and a tribute to the exceptional Polish artist Krzysztof Komeda, an acclaimed pianist and composer also known for soundtracks to most of Roman Polański’s films.

The album and concert will therefore feature well-known pieces from films such as “Knife in the Water” and “Rosemary’s Baby”, alongside less familiar but equally remarkable compositions. Możdżer’s pioneering style, a fusion of classical music and jazz, also means that “Komeda” is appreciated by lovers of both genres. The record can confidently be described as the result of an extraordinary, timeless meeting of two musical personalities and two generations of Polish jazz.

Leszek Możdżer's lyrical, nostalgic interpretations of the legendary Krzysztof Komeda's work can be heard live on 10 October during the autumn edition of Ethno Jazz Festival in Wrocław. With Możdżer's exceptional pianistic abilities, technical precision and superb craftsmanship in mind, we can expect an unforgettable musical event, co-organised by the LIONSTAGE Management agency.
