Gerard Lebik na Umbrella Music Festival!

Doroczny chicagowski Umbrella Music Festival to najważniejszy przegląd muzyki kreatywnej w Chicago. Co roku, tym razem po raz szósty, między 2 a 6 listopada na kilku scenach wystąpi czołówka amerykańskich improwizatorów oraz zaproszonych gości. W zeszłym roku Polskę "pod parasolem" reprezentował Wacław Zimpel. Tym razem będzie to Gerard Lebik - saksofonista znany m.in. z kwartetu Foton. 

Lebik wystąpi w Chicago 2 listopada w ramach cyklu European Jazz Meets Chicago. Towarzyszyć mu będą: znakomita trębaczka Jaimie Branch, Anton Hatwich (bas) i Marc Riordan (perkusja).
