Adam Makowicz - jazz legend, master of improvisation, piano virtuoso.
European "Jazz Forum" magazine voted Adam a "Number One Jazz Pianist" six years successively. He has recorded several dozens of albums and performed in the world's best concert venues, playing with the world's top musicians.

Makowicz was born in Czech Silesia to Polish parents. In 1946 his family returned to Poland. The first music teacher of the young Adam was his mother- herself a pianist and a singer. Exceptionally talented Makowicz was sent to a school for musically gifted children and subsequently to music schools in Rybnik, Katowice and Krakow. His parents' dream was for their son to become a classical pianist. However, as a 15-year-old youngster Adam became fascinated with jazz. In communist Poland jazz was a forbidden fruit, a product of the decadent West.
