In a world torn by many conflicts, full of divisions and threats, we want to refer to art as a source of hope and jazz music as a solace. Therefore, in this edition, as a starting point and inspiration, we have prepared a playlist with music by Polish jazz artists touching on the themes of hope, dialogue, trust on their albums. Can Art change today’s reality for the better? We believe it can! In these extremely difficult times we need Hope, Dialogue and Trust!
