Many years ago I took photographs of Jacek Ostaszewski, a prominent Polish jazz musician and influential composer.
Jacek is a co-founder a group Osjan, which was seen as one of precursors of “world music”.
He also collaborated with hugely popular at that time, Marek Grechuta and the band Anawa, with famous jazzman Tomasz Stańko, with Adam Makowicz, with Krzysztof Komeda and Don Cherry.
We talked a little before session about his time, when he played on a double-bass with Andrzej Kurylewicz Quintet, but while I was taking his portraits, Jacek played and I listen.
This is my favourite manner of taking photographs of musicians as our relation flows on a sound of melody, which in turn, is an inspiration for my images.
