Known for its adventurous programming and international collaborations, with organizations like the Kennedy Center, London Jazz Festival, and ECM Records, the festival continues to shine a light on bold, creative voices.

This special U.S. edition offers audiences a chance to experience the vibrant Polish jazz scene, celebrated worldwide for its artistry and innovation.
