20 years since the first concert

Automatically translated from the Polish original.

I almost forgot that it’s today!!!

On September 25, 2005, I realized my first “commercial” (i.e. for money) concert.

From the perspective of time, I see what great luck it was to take my first professional steps in the “Best Polish jazz club” as the Warsaw Tygmont was then titled.

The opportunity to interact daily with greats of the jazz world like Wojciech Karolak, Zbigniew Namysłowski, Zbigniew Wegehaupt, Tomasz Szukalski, Jan Ptaszyn - Wróblewski (to mention just a few) under the eye of invaluable mentors and colleagues Jan Jakub Mularzuk and Daniel Banan Szyba (and outside the club also Andrzej Starzyk aka. Looptrotter and Andrzej Jawor) was a huge privilege and excellent vocational school.

It’s enough to say that just 5 years later I had the pleasure of standing behind the console on the large stage of Przystanek Woodstock - one of the largest festivals in the world - this event was documented in the attached photo :P

Thank you for these 20 years. I thank myself for perseverance, I thank my mentors and older colleagues for showing the way and a vast amount of knowledge, I thank the Artists for their trust, I thank all of you I’ve met on this path!
