Seifert Night @ X-Jazz Berlin
EABS, Monika Borzym& Friends
Wroclaw-based band EABS and vocalist Monika Borzym, in a joint project with harmonica virtuoso Kacper Smolinski and a group of outstanding German musicians, performed on May 5, 2022 during two "Seifert Night" concerts at the X-JAZZ festival in Berlin.
Seifert Night is a project that has been born and growing for several years. The idea originally referred to the promotion of Seifert Competition winners abroad. Its organizer, the Zbigniew Seifert Foundation, invited young musicians to individual concerts, which over time evolved into the idea of implementing a much larger-scale, umbrella project called Seifert Night, through which the Foundation can promote not only the music of Zbigniew Seifert, not only the winners of the Seifert Competition, but the Polish jazz scene in the broadest sense.
The first installment of Seifert Night took place in October 2021 at the Belgrade Jazz Festival in Serbia. The next one will be admired by the audience of the famous XJAZZ! Festival in Berlin.
XJAZZ! Festival is one of the most spectacular events of the European jazz scene, inaugurated in 2014. The festival focuses on presenting innovative forms of improvised music, but is also open to ethnic, alternative and contemporary classical music. The artistic director of the event is trumpeter Sebastian Studnitzky, who has been involved in musical cooperation between Poland and Germany for years. The festival events are held in clubs and concert halls located in the Kreuzberg district and attract tens of thousands of listeners each year. In 2022, 75 bands and more than 200 musicians from around the world performed in Berlin. In cooperation with the Zbigniew Seifert Foundation and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the organizers of the X-Jazz Festival also invited two outstanding Polish bands: the Wroclaw-based EABS and vocalist Monika Borzym.
EABS is a Wroclaw-based band that broke onto the Polish jazz scene with the release in 2017 of a capital CD dedicated to the work of Krzysztof Komeda ("Repetitions. Letters to Krzysztof Komeda)." Last year, the group tackled the works of Zbigniew Seifert, and the result proved as delightful as their capital attempts to reread Komeda's music. The concert in Berlin was a promotion of this very latest project, and took place On May 5 at 9:30 pm at the Prince Charles Club .
