Ed Gacek

Alto/tenor saxophonist
Edward Gacek began his musical career in Vancouver during the 1960's.
For five years he played in Albin Wieczerzak's orchestra, his instructor at the time. With his instrumental band, he played at dancing events sponsored by the Polish Combatant's Association during the next seven years. Other achievements include providing regular entertainment for a central Ramada Hotel, as well as participating in a Dixieland band. In addition, the Polish folk dance group, Polonez, is indeed fortunate to have Ed as an active member for the past 20 years. To date, he has joined forces with accordionist Robert Kozak to form the Jambalaya Band.
