Today the official site has released the following news:

Dear Fans!

As you may know, on January 12th we will appear on the TV show "20 years of RTL". It is not only the first performance of the new year, but also the first time after many good years of working with Ralph Rieckermann, that we introduce a new bass player. We have, during the months of recording the new album, got to know Pawel Maciwoda as a musician and friend and we look forward to working together in the future. While Ralf, in the last couple of years, is involved more in the Film music side in his adopted home of Los Angeles, we still maintain a friendly and close relationship and wish him the very best of luck for his career. Our new album, will be released in spring 2004 as planned. We are looking forward to seeing you all on our upcoming world tour.

All the best. SCORPIONS

So who is Pawel Maciwoda? On the official site there is no information about him. Searching though the Internet I have found few words concerning him. First of all, it is the page about polish jazz where is mentioned a person with the name Maciwoda-JarzРєbski Pawel. Secondly, it is the page of jazz festival in Krakow. There is the following band among the members:

SASKIA LAROO (Holland) & FUNK DE NITE with JAREK SMIETANA
Saskia Laroo – trumpet
Jarek Smietana – guitar
Ryszard Krawczuk – sax
Pawel Maciwoda – bass,
Artur Malik - drums

We can surely say that Pawel Maciwoda is a jazz-man from Poland. We wish him good luck on this new stage of his carrer!
