Thursday evening at 7:00 PM, the Warsaw club Stodoła will host performances showcasing "young Polish jazz," according to festival director Mariusz Adamiak. He noted that nearly all the performers hail from Poland’s coastal Tricity area, which he considers the strongest jazz hub in Poland. The lineup includes bands playing jazz and related genres: Jutra, Tomek Wendt Daily Things, Ńoko, and Immortal Onion & Michał Jan Ciesielski.
The following day will be dedicated to the works of John Zorn, a saxophonist and one of the most prominent composers in jazz and contemporary music. Zorn will present two of his projects: Simulacrum and New Masada Quartet.
On Saturday, various genres of contemporary improvised music will be performed by Irreversible Entanglements. The stage will also feature Void Patrol, a new quartet blending elements of jazz, drone, and metal, as well as The Chosen Few quartet led by Isaiah Collier, one of the world's leading tenor saxophonists.
The festival's grand finale on Sunday will showcase the biggest star of this year's Warsaw Summer Jazz Days, bass guitar virtuoso Marcus Miller. His performance will be preceded by the Swiss band The Big Tusko and the Polish group Hoshii, led by saxophonist Kuba Więcek.
