We invite you to the next concert in the “Jazz in Western Pomerania” series. Until the end of summer vacation, residents and tourists visiting Western Pomerania will have a unique opportunity to see Polish and international jazz stars. Seven exceptional concerts are scheduled as part of the “Jazz in Western Pomerania” series. These events will combine world-class music with the chance to explore the region’s most beautiful spots. Admission to all concerts is free. “Jazz in Western Pomerania” is an initiative of Marshal Olgierd Geblewicz, and this year’s edition focuses on promoting jazz music throughout the province. The concerts will take place in unique locations—from picturesque lake districts, through historic towns, to seaside marinas. The first of the August concerts will take place in historic Chojna. Performing for you will be: the Aleksander Panek Trio, the Radek Wośko Quintet, and the Matti Klein Quartet. Admission is free to all concerts. ????Aleksander Panek Trio – The band moves between styles ranging from mainstream jazz to experimental improvisation, while maintaining its own original sound. ????Radek Wośko Quintet feat. Karolina Śmietana The Radek Wośko Quintet presents modern vocal-instrumental jazz, combining original compositions with pieces from the jazz canon. Scandinavian melancholy and Slavic energy, refined by the jazz tradition, create an intriguing and exciting blend. The musicians explore the borderlands of art that is intellectually ambitious yet at the same time deeply spiritual and accessible to listeners. All of this is done to truly move the audience. ????Matti Klein Quartet The festival stage will host a unique, international lineup, guaranteeing jazz of the highest European caliber. The star of the concert will be Matti Klein—one of Germany’s most intriguing pianists, who plays the Wurlitzer and is known for the deep, soul-funk sound of his keyboards. He will be accompanied by the outstanding Danish bassist and composer Anne Mette Iversen, who has long been a pillar of the Berlin and New York jazz scenes, as well as acclaimed Polish musicians. The quartet’s music is an organic blend of dynamic groove, catchy melodies, and Scandinavian spaciousness and elegance. The band masterfully balances precise structure with open improvisation, creating a live dialogue full of energy and mutual understanding.
