Zbigniew Namyslowski is a giant of Polish Jazz. The quote from Willis Conover himself says enough: "When I first visited Poland, I was quite unprepared to hear Polish musicians at so high level. Namyslowski was clearly the best. International voting has proved that audiences in Europe recognize the best Polish musician as among the best anywhere in the world. He honors 3
traditions, of Jazz, of Polish, of himself. Anyone who misses Namyslowski is missing a unique source of creativity in 20th century. Namyslowski is a giant!"
Namyslowski is a master of many instruments. From the age of four he played piano, he mastered cello at twelve, then studied music theory in Warsaw. He initially (1950s) played trombone in Polish Dixieland, and in 1960s took up alto saxophone and ventured into modern Jazz joining Andrzej Trzaskowski's hard bop group the Jazz Wreckers. In 1963 he formed his first quartet, with whom her recorded groundbreaking album Lola for England's Decca label. Namyslowski cites John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, and Joe Henderson as his favorite musicians but also draws inspiration from other sources, including blues, rock, and traditional Polish, Balkan, and Indian music. Namyslowski is also a very successful composer, including genres outside of Jazz and encompassing anything from Polish version of funk to sophisticated pop music. In the field of composition, Namyslowski has created his own unique and easily recognizable language: the harmonic language, the swing that goes beyond the scale of musical transcription, the Jazz tradition, and his always present appreciation of Polish music folklore. Besides being a ground-breaking visionary of Polish Jazz, his role in Polish Jazz could be compared to Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers' impact on Jazz history - he become a distinguished mentor of young musicians. The number of musicians who passed through various Namyslowskis bands is long, and includes an abundance of Polish Jazz diamonds, some of them include: pianists Wojciech Gogolewski, Adam Makowicz, Wojciech Karolak, Adzik Sendecki, Leszek Mozdzer, and Slawek Jaskulke; bass players Janusz Kozlowski, Pawel Jarzebski, Darek Oleszkiewicz, Krzysztof Scieranski; drummers Czeslaw "Maly" Bartkowski, Kazimierz Jonkisz, Jerzy Glod, and Grzegorz Grzyb. Until today Namyslowski remains himself and always refining for his own musical language. To quote Maestro Namyslowski himself: "to be successful, it is no longer enough to play Horace Silver themes. One shouldn't play material borrowed from records (...) I founded my own quartet and created my music to play what I want to and how I want to".

Zbigniew Namysłowski: A multiinstrumentalista Zbigniew Namysłowski (alt- és szopránszaxofon, fuvola, harsona, cselló, zongora, hangszerelő) kétségkívűl a lengyel jazz egyik leginkább emblematikus személyisége a jazz világában. Pályafutása még 1956-ban zongoristaként kezdődött, később csellistaként és harsonásként folytatta az akkori leghíresebb lengyel zenekarok tagjaként. 1958-ban tagja volt annak a Polish All Stars nevű zenekarnak, amelyik elsőként szerepelt Nyugat-Európában (Dánia, Franciaország) a háború után. Körülbelül ebben az időben tért át mai fő hangszerére az altszaxofonra. 1961-ben alapította első saját jazz combóját Jazz Rockers néven. 1962-ben az Andrej Trzaskowski által vezetett The Wreckers nevű zenekarral, Kelet-Európából elsőként az USA-ban turnézik, részt vesz a formációval a híres
Newport 62’ Jazz Fesztiválon. 1963-ban ő az első kelet-európai zenész, akinek önálló lemeze jelenik meg Nyugaton, az angol Decca kiadja Lola című albumát. Évtizedeken keresztül számos sikeres formációt hoz létre, közel 40 saját lemezt készít, amelyek közt sok jazz - történeti jelentőségű is található (Lola, Winobranie, Kujawiak Goes Funky, Jasmin Lady, Air Condition, Standards, Assymetry) és résztvevőként több mint 80 albumon szerepel. Egyedi, azonnal felismerhető soundjára és stílusára elsősorban a lengyel (górál) népzene szeretete és az amerikai jazz szonorisztikájának ismerete van hatással. Hangzását sajátos, intenzív tűz és feszültség jellemzi, amely bizonyos mértékig Jackie McLean-hez és Mike Osborn-hoz teszi hasonlatossá.
