Antykwariat Jazz Group

Antykwariat Jazz Group was revitalized in 1979, winning a European Jazz Juniors Festival. The group was active in the 80s under the auspices of PSJ Kracow - Poland. Comprised of victors of International, European and Polish jazz music festivals, Antykwariat performed throughout West and East Europe, specially Scandinavian countries. Initially it functioned as a septet (with a brass section). Antykwariat reformed in Chicago in 2006, now performing both original compositions and well-known jazz standards. Antykwariat Jazz Group characterizes a style of music where old and new European romantic and American jazz music meet. The band’s superb musicality is a factor of extensive experience, great workshop, and a deep immersion in musical culture- all of which allow for an incomparable, creative touch in music composition. A lifetime of musical experience and passion are conveyed through each member’s artistic emotion, allowing the group to remarkably perform in many jazz varieties and actualize a spectrum of stylistic thoughts. Antykwariat produces music that is truly unique and constantly seeking new sources of inspiration. The group is composed of: Slawomir Bielawiec – piano, Jan Zienko – guitar, Jarek Lukomski – drums, Andy Grzelak – electric bassand bass quitar, Jacek Berlin – percussion, Rob Denty – soprano and tenor sax.
