He grew up in a musical family and was surrounded by a wide variety of&nbsp;musical influences and instruments. At&nbsp;the&nbsp;age of 8, Ignatowicz enrolled in the Polish National Music School to study Clarinet. Saxophone soon followed on his list of instruments to master, as he continued in his search for&nbsp;the instrument that would best serve his need for musical expression. Then, at the age of 10 he found the guitar, which became the sole focus of his pursuit for musical mastery.&nbsp;After&nbsp;finishing high school, he continued his education at the University of Silesia, where he majored in jazz guitar and graduated with a Masters in Music in 2005 and moved to New York where he currently resides. <a href=\"https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Pawel-Ignatowicz-BIO-ENG.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>Download full Bio<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"one_half\">Darkness at Noon<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/04-Darkness-At-Noon.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n<p>Come and Go<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/08-Come-And-Go.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n<p>Predawn<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/03-Predawn.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n<p>Here and Now<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/02-Here-And-Now.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_half last\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-877 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/04-Darkness-At-Noon-mp3-image-1024x921.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"342\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/04-Darkness-At-Noon-mp3-image-1024x921.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/04-Darkness-At-Noon-mp3-image-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/04-Darkness-At-Noon-mp3-image-768x691.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/04-Darkness-At-Noon-mp3-image-945x850.jpg 945w, https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/04-Darkness-At-Noon-mp3-image-750x675.jpg 750w, https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/04-Darkness-At-Noon-mp3-image.jpg 1647w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"one_half\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hfIOJjJ06Mk?rel=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_half last\">\n<p>Ignatowicz cut his first record as a leader in 2008, three years after arriving to NY. That first solo debut \u201cTalk To You Later\u201d was a trio with his original music. In 2011, he recorded the music score to the film &#8220;Double Breath&#8221; by screenwriter and director Rafal Janus. Apart from these projects he has composed a substantial number of solo recordings which can be found on his website.<br \/>\nIn 2016 Ignatowicz collaborated with a quartet of young acclaimed musicians to record his new album \u201cHere and Now\u201d. Influenced by acoustic, electric, drum and bass, Latin, Indian and minimal music, \u201cHere and Now\u201d features Ignatowicz on both electric guitar, acoustic, guitar synth\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div>\n<p>and electric sitar, Ferenc Nemeth on drums, Julian Shore on piano and keyboards, Edward Perez on bass and Jonathan Singer on tabla. The album embodies a fresh and contemporary approach that weaves a variety of acoustic sound through the album\u2019s very melodic concept but still very much remains in tradition and roots of jazz. Album was mixed by renowned music engineer <strong>Dave Darlington<\/strong>. He earned Grammy&#8217;s\u00ae for his work on records by <strong>Wayne Shorter<\/strong>, <strong>Herbie Hancock, Brian Lynch<\/strong> and <strong>Eddie Palmieri<\/strong> and <strong>Sting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSCF4211sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSCF4211sm.jpg 800w, https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSCF4211sm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSCF4211sm-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pawelignatowicz.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/DSCF4211sm-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>&#8220;Pawel Ignatowicz is a reputable guitarist and apparently, going by his unmistakable self-confidence, Poland\u2019s greatest star.
