13.05-19.05.13 Concerts Schedule

It was an extremely busy week (no time to write, each day busy with a concert). I'd say Wovoka (tantalizingly psychodelic folk-blues) and Hucpa (double drum jewish wedding fiesta with alto sax leading on the ballroom) were the definite highlights.

Krakow remains a stage of student's festival for another week so pleny of live events this week as well, but not as many if you look for alternative jazz. The blues fans should be well satisfied though:

13.05 Adam Baldych Imaginary Quartet at Lizard King (part of the "Starzy i Mlodzi czyli Jazz w Krakowie festival")
A dynamic violin player and energetic quartet whose sound is deeply inspired by the modern jazz New York scene.

12-13.05 Magdalena Piskorczyk at PIEC'Art
For 6 conscutive years the winner of the best female vocalist title by the "Twój Blues" magazine. I don't think it needs commenting.

For the next days PIEC'Art focuses on young Krakow jazz scene and will present

14.05 Ola Trombola Quintet (A.Guguła-tp, S.Pezda-sax, N.Kolodziejczyk-p, M.Parker-db, G.Dowgiałło-dr)

15.05-16.05 Mateusz Gawęda solo / Mateusz Gawęda Trio

15.05 and 19.05 Bartek Przytuła Acoustic Jam Session / Przytuła & Kruk

Przytuła hold the top blues vocalist titles on the male side of the top lists , charismatic singer will lead Wednesday jam session with Krzysiek Pietras on piano and Tomek Kruk on dobro guitar, the latter will return on Sunday, the duo will be joined by Maciek Kudla on drums.

16.05 Cuefx Band at Alchemia
Cuefx proposes a deep club sound, elements of hip-hop and nu jazz could be find in there as well. Aleksander Papierz's presence (a known from the variety of noise, core, free and experimental projects) should gurantee a crazy ingredient.
