ArmInfo. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the restoration of Polish statehood, the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Armenia organized a concert by a trio of well-known Polish jazz pianist Andrzej Jagodzinski.
As the Ambassador of Poland to the RA Pavel Cheplak noted before the concert, the Trio of Andrzej Jagodzinski is a great example of Polish jazz traditions and one of the most successful teams in Poland.
Andrzej Jagodzinski - the most famous jazz pianist, a truly world-scale musician, an excellent composer and arranger, a graduate of the Warsaw Academy of Music. The musicians of the trio of Andrzej Jagodzinski have long gained fame as one of the best interpreters of Frederic Chopin's music. The band has existed since 1993 in the same composition: in addition to Andrzej Jagodzinski himself, the bassist Adam Cegielski; and drummer Czeslaw Bartkowsk play in the trio. It was in this lineup in 1993 that the legendary <Chopin> record was recorded, which made Polish musicians among the leaders of the modern European jazz scene. According to the readers of the magazine Jazz Forum, the record <Chopin> in 1994 became the best jazz album. For this work, the musicians were awarded the prestigious Polish Prize "Music lovers" < Frederic >. In 2000, the album <Chopin once more> received the status of <gold plate>. In fact, the Trio musicians became the ancestors of jazz Chopinists, because according to experts, no one had previously been able to fully embody Chopin's legacy in jazz form, as Jagodzinski did. Now in the discography of the trio there are six albums, the names of which include the name of the Polish romantic.
