Leszek Mozdzer - Polish pianist playing the style combining the elements of ancient, classical and contemporary music, although classified by the critics as a jazzman. A thoroughly educated musician. Born on 23rd March 1971 in Gdansk. He started playing the piano at the age of five. In 1996 he graduated from the Academy of Music in Gdansk.

The winner of many prestigious awards, such as Grand Prix on the International Competition of Jazz Improvisation in Katowice, he won ten times in a questionnaire among the readers of "Jazz Forum" in the category "piano", two times Musician of the Year, the prize winner of the award Fryderyk '98. He played and recorded with Tomasz Stanko, Zbigniew Namyslowski, Dave Liebman, Lester Bowie, Archie Shepp, Joe Lovano, David Gilmour and Pat Metheny.

He wrote music for plays and films. He gives concerts all over the world. Recorded 90 CDs as a sideman or soloist. Pianist with classical technique, operating with his own the timbre, articulation, his own harmony. He creates a unique, at times not to say a mystic atmosphere. By definition not commercial, still he attracts crowds of listeners to his concerts. For some - fashionable, for others - legendary. Definitely a part of the history of Polish music culture.
