The 35th Akbank Jazz Festival returns to Frankhan for another night where jazz grooves keep the energy high and the dance floor alive. On October 10th, one of Europe’s most remarkable jazz talents of recent years, Kinga Głyk, takes the stage at Frankhan as part of the festival. “Kinga has permanently inscribed her name in the history of Polish jazz with her musical talent.”
These words come from world-renowned pianist and improvisation master Adam Makowicz, describing bassist Kinga Głyk. Since releasing her debut album Rejestracja in 2015 at the age of 18, Głyk has performed worldwide. In 2020, she was awarded the Grand Prize in the New Hope of Polish Jazz category by the prestigious Koryfeusz of Polish Music. Her fifth and most recent album, Real Life, features collaborations with Robert “Sput” Searight, Casey Benjamin, Brett Williams, and Nicholas Semrad, while production was shared with Snarky Puppy founder Michael League.
