Zbigniew Seifert in Memoriam in 2009 (1946-1979)

On 5th-7th November 2009, a festival dedicated to the memory of Zbigniew Seifert, the brilliant violinist, sax player and composer from Cracow, was held to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his death.

2009 marked the 30th anniversary of the death of the outstanding jazz artist Zbigniew Seifert. Though he unquestionably has an important place in jazz music history, his figure still remains little known to the wide audience. Zbigniew Seifert created his own unique violin style, which is his original contribution to jazz, drawn upon by many jazz violinists and other musicians also today.

Between 5th and 7th November 2009 in Cracow, during Cracow's 54th All Souls Jazz Festival, a cycle of concerts and meetings entitled ZBIGNIEW SEIFERT IN MEMORIAM was held on the initiative of musicians, festival organisers and lovers of Zbigniew Seifert's music, commemorating his jazz genius. The project was inspired and initiated by Małgorzata Jantos, Ph.D.
