He has had the honour to improve his skills while working with artists such as Claude Delangle, Vincent David, Daniel Gauthier, Christian Wirth, Claus Olesen, Dragan Sremec or Andrzej Rzymkowski. Each of them has given Jakub a piece of own musical sensitivity and unique technique, simultaneously encouraging him to further improvement of his method.
