Towards the end of the 1990s he initiated a more jazz-oriented musical project: The "Ellington, Krakow-style" concert, in which Duke Ellington's compositions were arranged by the foremost composers from Kraków's Piwnica pod Baranami cabaret - including Zygmunt Konieczny, Jan Kanty Pawluśkiewicz, Zbigniew Raj and Grzegorz Turnau – for a 25-piece orchestra which performed in Kiev, Stockholm, and several other cities.
A 1954 graduate of the Akademia Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie (Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts) in Kraków, Konieczny was a student of Xawery Dunikowski.
Since then Konieczny composed many pieces for film, theater performances and singers such as Ewa Demarczyk and Joanna Słowinska.
