Poznan Jazz Philharmonic Orchestra - Pjpo Plays Weezdob (2018)

Weezdob Collective is one of the most interesting and distinguishable bands on the Polish jazz scene. Formed in 2014, the band is composed of leading young Polish jazz musicians. They received individual scholarships from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, and won several awards as a band, including Grand Prix at the 54th Jazz on the Odra Festival, Grand Prix at the Lotos Jazz Festival during the 17th Bielska Zadymka Jazzowa, Grand Prix in the Jazz Fruit competition during the Mladi Ladi Jazz Festival in Prague, Grand Prix at the 18th National Polish Review of Young Jazz and Blues Bands in Gdynia and Grand Prix in the Blue Note Poznań Competition 2015.
