Mirosław ‘Carlos’ Kaczmarczyk – Self Reflections

Mirosław 'Carlos' Kaczmarczyk - Self Reflections - Jazz appeared in my life a long time ago along with other music genres. At the same time I was inspired by Hendrix and Wes Montgomery. I listen to and learned with The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Santana. I watched Frank Zappa concerts and Leonard Bernstein’s symphonic mornings. I was inspired by Ewa Bem, as well as Novi Singers’ rendition of Chopin. I played electric guitar at modern musicshows at the National Opera and played Arne Nordheim’s compositions live at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music. I also played a lot in Warsaw’s theatres next to some great actors. Just before I left Poland I had been a guitarist in the “Metro” musical. I’m sensitive to various kinds of music, especially to the masters of classical music. Our band, perhaps a bit paradoxically, is called “Loud Jazz Band,” but don’t let that fool you - we are no strangers to silence and minimalism.
