    \nHis attitude and rebellion have inspired many artists.<\/strong>
    \nA particularly intense time was in the 90s when he played with the band Jak wolno\u015b\u0107 to Wolnosc<\/strong> (2000 Fryderyk nomination).
    \nIn Berlin he played with the New Prohibition Band, Romano Swing with Katjusha Kozubek, Krzysztof Rudowski (Django Reinhardt, Gipsy Folk Swing), with Laura Bean (Bluegrass), Owoce Lasu Band, Tarara Band with Katarzyna Wieczerzak and Magdalena Bialoch.
