Adam Makowicz 是波蘭爵士真正的天才之一。他輝煌的音樂生涯橫跨數(shù)十年,直到今天,他的藝術(shù)鑒賞力和搖擺感覺總是讓爵士樂迷感到驚喜。AsJim Fuselli 曾經(jīng)在華爾街日報上這樣寫他:“Adam Makowicz受到Benny Goodman 的稱贊,拿他跟 Art Tatum、Erroll Garner 和 Teddy Wilson相比,爵士出版物和整個歐洲都稱他為天才。Makowicz先生熱烈的風(fēng)格、堅實的和弦進行,以及快速的、Tatum式的右手樂句,讓他完全應(yīng)該受到更多的贊揚。”
Adam Makowicz made a strong impression when he first came to the U.S. and at the time, he was often compared to Art Tatum. Although his technique is nearly on Tatum's level, Makowicz has long had his own style, mixing together different aspects of jazz, ranging from swing to hard bop. He started playing jazz in the late '50s and with Tomasz Stanko formed one of the first European free jazz groups, the Jazz Darings. He led his own groups in Warsaw from 1965 on and in 1970 played electric piano in Michal Urbaniak's band. Makowicz also worked with Urszula Dudziak and recorded several albums in Poland before coming to the United States in 1977. Although the initial publicity (when he was championed by John Hammond) has long since died down, Makowicz has, if anything, continued to improve as a pianist. He has recorded many records as a leader for such labels as Columbia, Stash, Choice, Sheffield Lab, Novus, and Concord.
