Krzysztof Herdzin

Krzysztof Herdzin is one of the most exceptional musicians in Poland today. As classically trained pianist, he explores the classical music idiom with ease and yet plays with elite of Polish jazz and pop musicians with equal fortune. His phenomenon lies first and foremost in his diversity. It is natural consequence, as it were, of the versality of a musician who combines the activities of a pianist, composer, arranger, conductor, multiinstrumentalist and producer of records. Herdzin's list of achievements is truly impressive, reflecting perhaps some kind of mystery hidden in his music, a music which, while being difficult to define, easily crosses the boundaries and is accessible to large sections of listeners. Krzysztof Herdzin recorded 18 CD as a leader, and as a pianist, conductor, composer and arranger took part in recording of over 200 albums. As a producer and arranger recevied 17 Gold Records and 4 Platinum Records. He orchestrated and arranged music by famous Polish composer Jan A. P. Kaczmarek, on the movie "Finding Neverland", which won an OSCAR '2005. Cooperated with Maria Schneider, Branford Marsalis, Vinnie Colaiuta, Gregoire Maret, Gil Goldstein, Richard Bona, Oscar Castro Neves, Mino Cinelu, Gary Husband, Dhafer Youssef, Eddie Henderson. He performed in USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, India, Turkey, Israel, and almost every European country.
