Jakub Cywiński's Street Jazz Project feat. Irene Serra!

Jakub Cywiński's Street Jazz Project consists of excellent musicians with a very large and diverse artistic experience.

A mix of four nationalities: Polish, Italian, Spanish and British create a unique combination, which on Saturday, February 25, 2025, in Jazz Café POSK will result in special performances of songs that are part of the repertoire of swing classics, Gypsy Jazz, Latin and Polish music.

JC Street Jazz Project is a spontaneous reference to the roots of European popular music and the US swing era. In this project, the musicians rely on the ability of natural and untrained communication with each other and free improvisation reminiscent of spontaneous street performances. Let's busk it!

The band will be joined by an excellent Italian singer living in London, Irene Serra!
