In 2013, he received the Special Award of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage for artistic achievements. Since 2011, he has been co-creating international projects as a leader with musicians from different continents, presenting contemporary trends in jazz and ethno-jazz music. His sixth original album Fig Tree received wide coverage among music journalists and critics in Poland and abroad, receiving the award in the form of the best album of 2020 according to the British-French portal Jazz Fuel, and the vinyl version of this album became a Polish bestseller in the first week after its release on the OLiS list of the Association of Audio Video Producers.

He has concert tours with his own music in many countries around the world performing at many international jazz festivals and in social and cultural centers.
"Fig Tree presents a composer who's mastered his craft. The tone of Straczek's guitar together with his language within the compositional structures are what give these songs their unique timbre. Elevated by tight group interplay, these arrangements are effective at conveying the music in an emotionally convincing fashion" All About Jazz
