About:
Krzysztof Sadowski was born in Warsaw, Poland December 15, 1936. He studied piano for eleven years while at school and after graduating from the Warsaw Institute of Technology took up a career in jazz (1957). In the early 1960s he played and recorded with Zbigniew Namyslowski's Jazz Rockers and Jan Wróblewski's Jazz Outsiders (both 1961-2), and worked with Andrzej Kurylewicz and the Swingtet led by the alto saxophonist Jerzy Matuszkiewicz. He achieved considerable success with his own group Bossa Nova Combo (from 1963), with which he toured the Soviet Union (1965) and Scandinavia (1967). In 1967, influenced by Jimmy Smith, he took up the Hammond organ and formed a hard-bop ensemble, the Krzysztof Sadowski Organ Group. With the Organ Group he recorded two important albums for Polish Jazz Series: "Krzysztof Sadowski and his Hammond Organ" and "Three Thousands Points". He also toured and recorded with his wife, the pop singer and flutist Liliana Urbanska. Sadowski has composed many popular hits in Poland, as well as music for films, theater, radio, and television, and two suites, "On the Cosmodrome" and "Our Common World". Krzysztof Sadowski is a long time activist and executive of Polish Jazz Society.
