Seifert was born in Kraków, Poland.[2] He played alto saxophone early in his career and was influenced by John Coltrane.[2] He devoted himself to jazz violin when he began performing with the Tomasz Stańko Quintet in 1970,[2] and became one of the leading modern jazz violinists. Seifert relocated to Germany in 1973, and worked with Hans Koller's Free Sound between 1974 and 1975.[2] The following year, he performed alongside John Lewis at the Montreux Jazz Festival.[2] Seifert later recorded with Oregon.[2]
He died of cancer at the age of 32,[2] and is buried at Rakowicki Cemetery in Krakow.
