Co-organised by acclaimed Polish jazz pianist Leszek Mozdzer, the open-air festival is hosted on the banks of the Strzeszyn Lake.

The opening day of the festival saw Brooklyn-based combo the Shai Maestro Trio take the stage, followed by host Mozdzer.

Thursday will see performances by Israel's the 3 Cohens Sextet and Marius Neset & Trondheim Jazz Orchestra.

Modzder is most famed for his experimental variations on Chopin's music, and he has joined forces in the past with such diverse musicians as Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour and Texan jazz saxophonist Billy Harper. (nh)
