The year 2024 marks the 55th anniversary of the death of one of Poland’s most important jazzmen and the world’s most important film music composers, Krzysztof Komeda. He wrote music for nearly 70 films, and gained worldwide recognition through his collaboration with director Roman Polanski. This resulted in such iconic pictures as “Knife in the Water” and “Rosemary’s Baby,” “Fearless Vampire Hunters,” among others. His extraordinary music, as well as his legendary and unchanging status as a cult figure in Polish jazz and film for decades, means that his compositions are being rediscovered by successive generations of musicians. In 1966, he and his quintet recorded the album “Astigmatic,” considered by world jazz critics to be the most important album in the history of Polish jazz.
