Chopin and Jazz

As I have written about the bicentenary of Frédéric Chopin I add this article about music cross overs in Kraków Polen/Poland:

15th Summer Jazz Festival at the Cellar under Rams (Piwnica pod Baranami) KRAKÓW, JULY 4th - AUGUST 18th, 2010 The 200th Anniversary of The Birth of Fryderyk Chopin Welcome to the 15th Annual Jubilee Festival, which will last for forty six days this year. We are very happy to have many of the worldwide jazz stars, such as Booby McFerrin, Markus Stockhausen, Paulo Fresu or NDR Big Band. The Jazz Night will be dedicate to Friderik Chopin and will start with the Jazz Festival Award ceremony, where Janusz Ptaszyn Wróblewski- a Polish composer, legendary tenor saxophonist and one of the main founder of the Polish jazz, will be awarded with the Jazz Lamb Statuette. The diversity of the 100 festival concerts makes it a great time for jazz lovers to catch some favourite music, immersed in the magical atmosphere of Kraków and legendary club “Piwnica pod Baranami”. I hope you will enjoy the festival!
