Krzysztof Komeda
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Krzysztof Komeda (b. April 27, 1931 in Poznan – d. April 23, 1969 in Warsaw, Poland) was a Polish jazz musician and composer. His real name was Krzysztof Trzcinski but he changed his last name due to Communist disfavor with jazz music.
Komeda died in 1969 after a skiing accident in California while working with director Roman Polanski on his next film.
