Jadźka Kłapa is a polish MD, jazz singer and saxophone player. She composes her own songs and accompanies herself on the Wurlitzer piano.
A tongue-in-cheek song that opens the album “Point Styku”. “Get Up” was created as a reaction to the fatigue of medical work. Responsibility, patterns, duties, who doesn’t want to be freed from their yoke every now and then? No wonder the stethoscope is a symbol of the song – it was created during one of my first hospital internships. I was a newly minted doctor who had just graduated from college. At the beginning of this journey, I was not convinced that I was in the right place and at the right time. I felt lost, wandering in the fog and struggling to survive. One day when my alarm went off early in the morning, I didn’t get up. Instead, I slept sweetly, dozed, dreamed, was silent and… wrote a song about it. In the morning no one noticed my absence, so you could say I got away scot-free. In addition to my vocals and saxophone, the recording features Paweł Zarecki on Steinway piano, Hammond, Moog, Maciek Szczyciński on double bass, Paweł Dobrowolski on drums and guest Mateusz Smoczyński on violin.

a couple of months ago you have asked me to report about my hobbies. That is a little risky because I am helping many prejudices by that…..
Besides my professions as pharmacist, art dealer and setting up game-automates I am active in the politics for my profession as pharmacist (as delegate of the Bavarian pharmacist chamber and regional president of the nationwide association of “active pharmacists”).
In some associations like “wine brethren” and “aviation club” I am in the presidency.
In principle that would do, but the day has 24 hours! So I go fishing and hunting, go by boat and go flying my balloon (see picture).
Also I fly airplanes and shoot “Vorderlader”, drive bycicle and play golf.
Under the aspect of time that goes very wel because my wife Hanne participates in all of these hobbies apart from flying.
But my favourite hobby is music! I have bought several instruments and try to play “jagdhorn“, trombone, trumpet, clarinet, saxophone, “Hackbrett“, “Zither“, double bass, hornpipes, drumset, violin, a self-constructed harmonika, electric organ and last not least piano.
Regular highlights of my little life are the games of chess with my 12-year-old son Michael having a (big) glass of wine and playing four hands with my little boy.
Sorry that this letter took so long although I have sufficiently time, but in the beginning I did not find the picture with my balloon…..
