Zbigniew Seifert was born in June, 6th, 1946. He began studying the violin at the age of six and ten years later also took up the saxophone. He studied violin at the University Of Krakow, while also playing alto in his jazz group. The music of John Coltrane proved to be a strong influence throughout Seifert's career. The violin took precedence as Seifert' main instrument when he was a member of Tomasz Stanko's quintet from 1969 to 1973. Seifert passed away at the age of 32 from cancer, leaving a legacy that still influences musicians to this day. This album - "Solo Violin" - was recorded life at "Forum Jungle Music" in Bremen, Germany on May 1976, and is dedicated to Seifert's wife Agnieszka. A masterful improviser who could have ranked at the top with Adam Makowicz and Michal Urbaniak, Zbigniew Seifert's early death robbed Poland of one of its top jazz artists.

This is a non exhaustive compilation of pieces for solo violin. Jeux interdits", Spanish Ballad, for Violin solo (transcription: Ruggiero Ricci). Dans l'intimité, Op. 19 (1909) (1. Improvisation; 2. Plaisanterie musicale sur l'air populaire 'Oh, du lieber Augustin').

In 1968, Zbigniew Seifert joined the newly formed Stańko Quintet, soon switched from alto sax to electric violin, and the next chapter of European jazz history began. Beside Stańko and Seifert, the line-up of the quintet included Janusz Muniak on the saxophone and flute, Jan Gonciarczyk, Bronisław Suchanek on the bass and Janusz Stefański on the drums. The quintet made three records: Music for K (1970), Jazz Message from Poland (1972) and Purple Sun (1973) but the albums could not compare to the magic of the quintet's life performances. He also experimented with electronics and electro-acoustic sounds, as well with the concept of concerts of solo trumpet at places as unusual as the Taj Mahal in India. His most important work of the 1970s may have been with Finnish drummer Edward Vesala.

To be honest, there is a really huge interest," said Aneta Norek-Skrycka, President and co-founder of the Zbigniew Seifert Foundation and one of those chiefly responsible for making the 1st Zbigniew Seifert International Jazz Violin Competition a reality: "We didn't expect to have so many applications and such big interest from the media so it seems that in this. In 2008, Polonia Records reissued Seifert's celebrated 1978 recording Solo Violin. In 2010 another Polish label, GAD Records, released Nora, a series of radio recordings from 1969 and 1970 featuring Seifert on alto saxophone. Also in 2010, German label Promising Music issued Man of the Light, remastered from the MPS label recording.
