Adam Pieronczyk is a discovery, for he has a lovely warm tone and a clever
imagination, but he can also blow for the borders.
(Cadence NY)
Adam Pieronczyk is among the very finest of the Polish jazz scene.
He is successful like few others in combining instrumental virtuosity,
precision, and intellectual refinement with an emotionality that borders
on exhibitionism. He burns in his improvisations, and the listener burns
with him.
