A new music series at the Kosciuszko Foundation in Washington, D.C., promoting Polish Jazz had its grand opening with a concert by Bogna Kicińska on Saturday, Feb. 21 at 6:30 p.m. A jazz vocalist, violinist, composer and an educator now based in New York City, Kicińska was joined on stage by Kuba Cichocki, piano and Will Slater, bass. The concert featured tracks from her debut album “The Maze”—released this past October—which draws inspiration from Polish and Latin American folk music, soul and Western classical music, while remaining rooted in jazz. The winner of many competitions, Kicińska has performed with such musicians as Gene Jackson, Gabriel Guerrero as well as Polish legends Danuta Blazejczyk and Jerzy ‘Dudus’ Matuszkiewicz.
