Jarek was born in Warsaw, Poland and came to the United States in 1979. He went almost right away to Berklee College of Music in Boston for Summer and then to Chicago Musical College for 3 years to study classical music, voice, piano and bass. Then he played for many years with several great bands in the Chicago area. Very touched by great spiritual poetry by the 13th Century Sufi master Jalaluddin Rumi he decided to write some songs with those powerful words and after several years of fun work we got O My Beloved! - a truly heart, mind, and soul touching CD. With these songs we have original and modern way to approach this kind of poetry. All the lyrics are printed on the CD insert. Enjoy!
