A visionary trumpeter and composer, a protégé of Krzysztof Komeda and a colleague of musicians from Poland, Scandinavia, Britain, Cuba and the USA, his impact on jazz internationally was profound, proving that jazz was not exclusively an American art form but truly worldwide. In 2014 he was awarded the Polityka Passport in Poland, the Prix du Musicien Européen in Paris and the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.</p><p><br></p><p>This book is a no-holds-barred extended interview with journalist Rafał Księżyk, originally published in Polish by Wydawnictwo Literackie.</p>
