Szafran | Guest Mix

Szafran digs deep into his record collection to bring Refuge Worldwide listeners a decade-spanning Polish jazz mix. He takes listeners back to the '60s when the jazz scene was booming in his native country, and jumps forward with young artists who are performing and fuelling the scene today. Polish jazz has a long, storied history. In Stalinist Poland, jazz was banned along with modern art. Since the late 1940s, it has embraced the spirit of independence, nonconformity and cosmopolitanism in Poland.
