50th anniversary of the Jazz Department of the Academy of Music in Katowice - NOSPR

The Jazz Institute of the Music Academy in Katowice has been a real breading ground of talents. When looking at its history one can boldly say that vast majority of the finest Polish jazz musicians developed their craftsmanship at this Institute.

The list of graduates is so long and impressive that it is virtually impossible to name them all. The same goes for its distinguished professors and teachers. So it should be nobody’s surprise, this jubilee is sure to give our audience a chance to hear crème de la crème of Polish Jazz.
