Krakow Concert Schedule 06-13.10 / Nu Ensemble at Krakow Autumn Jazz 2013 Festival

This the moment many of the free jazz lovers in Krakow have been waiting for a long time. Autumn has officialy begun! 5 evenings with Nu Ensemble make fill pretty much the whole week but there still are some more options to choose from. This is a long list, you may get dizzy.

06.10 Traces, Shreds, Hints at Klub Re
"Ślady, Strzępy, Wskazkówki" is a performance that combines improvised sounds, words, gestures and movements. Not exactly the lazy sunday afternoon kind of thing, it's a promise.

07.10 Tomek Gadecki and Rafal Mazur - Jazz w Bombia vol. 10.
Two prominent representants of polish improvised music, Gadecki is the bigger half of the "Giant and shorty duo" and I suppose the two connected during the double duo concert in Gdańsk, should serve as a perfect introduction to the week's busy program.
