Details:
ADAM MAKOWICZ - Pianist, Arranger, Composer
As a youngster learning classical piano in mid-fifties Poland, Adam Makowicz discovered jazz on Willis Conover’s Voice of America broadcasts. By the time he was brought to New York by legendary producer John Hammond in 1977, he could already be heard on 26 albums, had performed on three continents, and been voted Number One Jazz Pianist of Europe six years in a row by the readers of Jazz Forum. Since then he has performed with many jazz masters, jazz groups and orchestras, including the National Orchestra of
Washington DC, with Sara Voughan on the same bill. A major attraction at jazz festivals worldwide, he has expanded his discography to 52 albums, with 37 of them under his own name. In addition to his brilliant improvisations on Berlin, Gershwin, Ellington, Bernstein and many other composers, he brings his extraordinary technical virtuosity to bear upon his own musical roots, building bridges between classical music and jazz, as in the disc, "Reflections on Chopin". In October of 2003 he produced a CD "Songs for Manhattan", containing his own compositions, and his latest CD "From My Field", with works
of various composers, has been released in January 2006, both on his own label (AM Records).
