Makowicz & Medina “New York Flavors”

An elegant, slightly smoky Manhattan club where time measures the rhythm of swinging standards. Outside, the lights give way to the neon glow of Broadway, and the bustle of the city turns into a musical conversation between two great masters. This scenery will move to Wroclaw, which will become the Polish embassy of New York jazz. Adam Makowicz and Krzysztof Medyna invite you to “New York Flavors”.

The narrative of this evening will be based on a fascinating contrast. Two pillars of Polish export jazz will meet on stage, for which America has become a second home. Their common game is not technical shows, but a deep conversation in which each sound has its meaning.

During the concert we will enter the world of the “great American songbook”. It will be a compilation of mega-standards, which in the performance of this duo acquire a completely new dimension. The absence of a complete rhythm section becomes an opportunity to show the “claw” and freely overcome musical bends. The very titles of the songs foreshadow unique emotions.

Jazz in Makowicz and Medina is a music that has its roots deep in the blues. As the artists themselves admit: “The listener perceives first of all the mood — what the music brings. He does not know our stories or experiences, but through sounds he can feel their emotional dimension” (Adam Makowicz & Krzysztof Medyna, For Tune).

The concert of Adam Makowicz and Krzysztof Medyna is a meeting with artists who “did not abandon their musical ambitions in favor of Polish sales” (Dionizy Piątkowski, Era of Jazz). Saxophone and piano poets always put the emotions that music evokes first. Feel what New York tastes like without leaving Wroclaw.
