While the intense reception of Don Quixote in music has been documented and analyzed by a large number of research works in past decades, little attention has been paid so far to its relationship with popular music, a lack which is especially acute when it comes to the world of jazz. This article—a study in comparative literature and intermediality—deals with a particularly fascinating aspect of this subject, namely the reception of Cervantes’s masterwork in Polish jazz from 1927 to the present. The analysis of several examples, seen in the context of the reception of Don Quixote in Poland in general, and in the context of the historical circumstances in which these compositions and recordings were created, serves to expand current knowledge not only about the profound influence this novel has exercised on Polish culture, but also about its remarkable presence in the world of jazz more broadly.
