Biography
by Scott Yanow
Adam Makowicz made a strong impression when he first came to the U.S. and at the time, he was often compared to Art Tatum. Although his technique is nearly on Tatum's level, Makowicz has long had his own style, mixing together different aspects of jazz, ranging from swing to hard bop. He started playing jazz in the late '50s and with Tomasz Stanko formed one of the first European free jazz groups, the Jazz Darings. He led his own groups in Warsaw from 1965 on and in 1970 played electric piano in Michal Urbaniak's band. Makowicz also worked with Urszula Dudziak and recorded several albums in Poland before coming to the United States in 1977. Although the initial publicity (when he was championed by John Hammond) has long since died down, Makowicz has, if anything, continued to improve as a pianist. He has recorded many records as a leader for such labels as Columbia, Stash, Choice, Sheffield Lab, Novus, and Concord.

Biografía
por Scott Yanow
Adam Makowicz causó una gran impresión cuando llegó por primera vez a Estados Unidos y, en su momento, se le comparó a menudo con Art Tatum. Aunque su técnica está casi al nivel de la de Tatum, Makowicz tiene desde hace tiempo su propio estilo, que mezcla diferentes aspectos del jazz, desde el swing al hard bop. Empezó a tocar jazz a finales de los años 50 y formó con Tomasz Stanko uno de los primeros grupos europeos de free jazz, los Jazz Darings. Dirigió sus propios grupos en Varsovia a partir de 1965 y en 1970 tocó el piano eléctrico en la banda de Michal Urbaniak. Makowicz también trabajó con Urszula Dudziak y grabó varios discos en Polonia antes de venir a Estados Unidos en 1977. Aunque la publicidad inicial (cuando fue defendido por John Hammond) hace tiempo que se apagó, Makowicz, en todo caso, ha seguido mejorando como pianista. Ha grabado numerosos discos como líder para sellos como Columbia, Stash, Choice, Sheffield Lab, Novus y Concord.
