 PRESS  REVIEWS  / Adam Pieronczyk

Adam Pieronczyk is Poland's most interesting saxophonist today. 
                                                                             (Gazeta Wyborcza)
This saxophonist is one of the jazzmen currently defining 
      the shape of Polish jazz in the 21st Century
                                                                       (Newsweek)
Pieronczyk is an outstanding Polish jazz artist who is reaching a
    progressively wider circle of jazz fans.      
                                                                        (Audio) 
Adam Pieronczyk is a discovery, for he has a lovely warm tone and a clever 
     imagination, but he can also blow for the borders.
                                                                              (Cadence NY)
Adam Pieronczyk is among the very finest of the Polish jazz scene. He is
     successful like few others in combining instrumental virtuosity, precision, 
     and intellectual refinement with an emotionality that borders on exhibitionism.
     He burns in his improvisations, and the listener burns with him.
                                                                              (Gazeta Wyborcza)
new hope of Polish jazz;
                        (Berliner Morgenpost)
Pieronczyk's work brings a new quality to Polish jazz.    
                                                                                (HiFi)
It's difficult to categorize Pieronczyk, or to compare him with anybody.
     This is a great musician.     
                                                  (Jazz Forum)
For several years now, Adam Pieronczyk has been among 
     the most important and creative artists on the Polish jazz scene;
                                                                (Gazeta Wyborcza)
ray of hope on the East European jazz scene; 
                                (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
Adam Pieronczyk is the brightest point of jazz saxophone in Poland; 
                                                                                           (HiFi)
Pieronczyk's music is virtuosic, thought out, refined, and yet not
     calculated and cold. His improvisations carry a powerful dose of intensity,
     yet are profound and charged with emotional fire. 
                                                                   (Gazeta Wyborcza)
Adam Pieronczyk is a technically brilliant, spirited saxophone player 
     - even a little "cooler" than some of the masters of this instrument.                                                                                                          (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
