4 November 2025 · Franciscan Church, ul. Ujejskiego 40, Gdynia · under the patronage of Akcja Anima
Zaduszki Jazzowe, the All Souls’ jazz concerts, have a long history in Poland. They began in Kraków in the 1950s, when jazz was banned and played only in private flats. In Gdynia they have been held for 27 years, on the initiative of saxophonist Przemek Dyakowski.
On this evening, leading Polish jazz and blues musicians remember colleagues and masters who have passed away. Listeners of all ages bring their own candles and fill the church to the last seat.
The concert was hosted by Joanna Knitter and Leszek Dranicki. Performers included Aleksandra Mońko Allen, Piotr Góra, Darek Herbasz, Artur Jurek, Janusz Mackiewicz, Wojtek Staroniewicz and Irek Wojtczak. Admission was free. Organisers: City of Gdynia and Fundacja Ucho; patron: Akcja Anima; partner: PODWÓRKO.art.
