ZBIGNIEW SEIFERT is recognized as one of the great performers of jazz on the violin, and an extraordinary and forward thinking improvisor. Seifert was born in June, 6th, 1946. He began studying the violin at the age of six and ten years later also took up the saxophone. He studied violin at the University Of Krakow, while also playing alto in his jazz group. The music of John Coltrane proved to be a strong influence throughout Seifert's career. The violin took precedence as Seifert' main instrument when he was a member of Tomasz Stanko's quintet from 1969 to 1973. He moved to Germany in 1973, played with Hans Koller's Free Sound from 1974-75 and freelanced with various musicians(including with pianist Joachim Kuhn). Seifert played at the Monterey Jazz Festival with jazz legend John Lewis in 1976 and the following year recorded with Oregon. In the mid to late seventies, Seifert recorded a series of solo records, that established him as one of the most unique voices in jazz, and one of the most sophisticated improvisors on the violin.
During his career, "Zbiggy" played and recorded with a number of top musicians including Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, John Scofield, Eddie Gomez, Jack Dejohnette, McCoy Tyner, Phillip Catherine, Billy Hart, Joachim Kuhn, and many others. Seifert passed away at the age of 32 from cancer, leaving a legacy that still influences musicians to this day.

STRING CONNECTION jest synonimem polskiego jazzu lat 80-tych. Jest też grupą, która stała się żywą legendą.
Zespół założyli w lutym 1981 roku trzej byli muzycy - skrzypek Krzesimir Dębski, perkusista Krzysztof Przybyłowicz i basista Zbigniew Wrombel, którzy zaprosili do współpracy pianistę Janusza Skowrona. Później ukonstytuował się najbardziej znany skład zespołu, który pretendował do miana super-grupy K. Dębski, J. Skowron, K. Przybyłowicz oraz saksofonista Andrzej Olejniczak i basista Krzysztof Ścierański.
STRING CONNECTION występował na wszystkich ważnych festiwalach jazzowych w Polsce (Jazz Jamboree, Jazz nad Odrą), jak i za granicą (Norymberga, Berlin Zachodni, Paryż, Leverkusen, Hamburg, Getxo, Bruksela, Haga, Konsberg, Helsinki, Praha, Bratysława, Le Mans, Debreczyn). Koncertowali USA i Kanadzie, co w tamtych latach nie było wcale takie proste. Zagrali też dwie duże trasy po Związku Radzieckim. Nagrali 9 płyt, w tym dwie na Zachodzie. W latach 80-tych zarówno zespół jak i tworzący go muzycy w cuglach wygrywali plebiscyty „Jazz Forum. Popularność jaką cieszyli się w tym czasie porównywalna była ze statusem polskich gwiazd rocka w okresie prosperity.

swietne . pozdrawiam

This is fantastic! Great to hear musicians carrying on Zbiggy's legacy. Krzesimir has fantastic phrasing and a more lyrical style than Zbiggy, which I definitely like.

I also really like how effectively this trio format fills the sound space- double stops on the bass guitar and the violin make for a very full sound, without keys. Thanks for posting this!
