| ABOUT JAREK |
| |
| "... All the notes fall naturally into place. Never garrulous or |
| merely exhibicionistic, it is a jazz concert of the highest |
| calibre. Each phrase is swinging and is full of drive and feeling. |
| In brief, that is how you can describe the music of Jarek |
| Smietana, one of the most outstanding Polish jazz musicans. He has |
| created his own music style and indyvidual sound, always personal |
| yet constantly communicative. His first priority is the highest |
| possible artistic level". |
| (Leszek Kotarski, "Jazz Forum") |
