Episode 123th is a regular edition of the show, though broadcast at an unusual time due to a significant delay. In this episode, we explore January jazz releases from around the world—including the USA, Denmark, Belgium, Japan, Germany, Sweden, and Italy—as well as some rarer international collaborations: Argentine-Swiss, Danish-American, and German-Spanish. Emotional, reflective, lyrical, and at times experimental, this collection offers multidimensional stories that invite you to pause, step out of the rush of time, and create real space for reflection. Welcome to the first installment of jazz in 2026. (In Polish—broadcast on Bemowo FM.)
