Komeda Inspirations

Experience the spellbinding fusion of jazz and cinema in *Komeda Inspirations*, a concert film that brings together organ virtuoso Jan Bokszczanin, vocalist Anna Serafińska, flugelhorn maestro Robert Majewski, and tenor‑saxophonist Piotr Baron. The organ’s limitless expressive palette conjures vast, cinematic landscapes—an ideal match for Komeda’s evocative film scores. Bokszczanin’s daring vision of pairing this timeless instrument with the music of renowned composer Krzysztof Komeda re‑contextualises iconic melodies, inviting listeners to rediscover them in fresh, expansive tones. Born from a synthesis of jazz improvisation and cinematic drama, the project debuted at the Kolory Polski Festival and was recorded in 2010 for the NOSPR stage, where Poland’s leading jazz musicians joined the organist in a dynamic performance. The programme features sweeping themes from *Knife in the Water*, *Rosemary’s Baby*, *Two Men and a Wardrobe*, and *The Law and the Fist*, turning Komeda’s legendary compositions into new sonic adventures. Highlights of the set include: - “Thoughtfulness / Unloved” - “Before the Day Breaks” (lyrics by Agnieszka Osiecka) - “Everyone has a wardrobe” (lyrics by Wojciech Młynarski) - “Cattorn” - “Lullaby from Rosemary’s Baby” (lyrics by Wojciech Młynarski) - “Litany” - “It’s not bad” (lyrics by Agnieszka Osiecka) - “Grey Christmas Carol” (lyrics by Wojciech Młynarski) - “Don’t say anything” (lyrics by Agnieszka Osiecka) - “Ballad for Bernt” - “I don’t want to sleep” (lyrics by Agnieszka Osiecka) Whether you’re a devoted fan of Komeda, a lover of jazz, or simply seeking an unforgettable musical journey, *Komeda Inspirations* promises an evening of lush soundscapes, dynamic improvisation, and cinematic wonder.
