The Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet is a renowned jazz band from Poland. Led by bassist and composer Wojtek Mazolewski, the quintet has gained international recognition for their unique blend of traditional jazz with modern influences. With their energetic performances and innovative approach to music, they have captivated audiences around the world.
Formed in 2009, the quintet quickly established themselves as one of the leading jazz groups in Europe. Their debut album "Polka" received critical acclaim and showcased their ability to seamlessly fuse different genres together. Since then, they have released several more albums, each showcasing their growth as musicians and their commitment to pushing boundaries.
Known for their improvisational skills and tight-knit chemistry on stage, the Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet delivers captivating live performances that leave audiences wanting more. Whether performing at intimate venues or large festivals, they never fail to impress with their technical prowess and infectious energy.

'Spirit To All' is the latest record by Polish bassist and composer Wojtek Mazolewski and his famed Quintet (WMQ), Mazolewski's distinctive voice and vision are highly lauded and widely recognised for his contribution to the resurgence in Polish jazz and improv music on a global, crossover scale. Leading his long-time quintet of Joanna Duda, Marek Pospieszalski, Oskar Török and Qba Janicki, 'Spirit To All' is Mazolewski's third Whirlwind Recordings release following 'Polka - Worldwide Deluxe Edition' and 'When Angels Fall'. Speaking to the spirit in which the album was recorded, Mazolewski says: "I love the abstract arrhythmic sonic backgrounds of Sun Ra and Art Ensemble of Chicago, but there weren't any other musicians available, so I decided that we would record all percussion instruments ourselves. In the recording room, some of us had instruments, some of us sang, but only a few of us were wearing headphones hearing the music. This meant the others had to intuitively find and feel the pulse. The experiment made the WMQ sound even richer and we had such great fun doing it." Having played together for over 10 years, WMQ share a deep and innate connection that's palpable throughout their music. 'Spirit To All' is a cathartic manifestation of Mazolewski's inspiring intentions, "It made us come together again and reawaken the sense of adventure. We feel truly reborn as a band."
