Jerzy Matuszkiewicz (Polish pronunciation: [ˈjɛʐɨ matuʂˈkʲɛvit͡ʂ]; 10 April 1928 – 31 July 2021) was a Polish jazz musician and composer, playing saxophone and piano. He was a pioneer of the post-World War II jazz movement in Poland. Between 1950 and 1958, he was leader of the Polish jazz group Melomani.
Matuszkiewicz was born in Jasło and began playing jazz as a youth, founding a jazz club in Kraków. Throughout 1964, he performed both in Poland and abroad. In 1965, he began to mainly produce music for movies and commercials. He later resided in Warsaw with his wife, Grażyna, where he died, aged 93.
