The Maciej Obara Quartet is a contemporary jazz ensemble led by the eponymous Polish alto saxophonist Maciej Obara, known for its emotionally rich and melodically complex compositions. The quartet’s music is firmly rooted in the jazz tradition while exploring the boundaries of contemporary improvised music. Obara’s expressive saxophone tone is complemented by the creative contributions of his long-time collaborators: the nuanced, lyrical pianist Dominik Wania, the sophisticated Ole Morten Vågan on double bass, and the energetic precision of drummer Gard Nilssen.

Since their international debut, the Maciej Obara Quartet has captivated audiences and garnered critical acclaim with albums such as "Unloved" (2017), which was released on ECM Records - a label synonymous with top-tier jazz artistry. Subsequent works like "Three Crowns" (2019) showcase the quartet’s evolving dynamism and introspective interplay. Their discography, including titles like "Equilibrium," "Vang Church," and the evocative "Frozen Silence," reflects an ensemble committed to creating hauntingly beautiful soundscapes that resonate with quiet intensity and an innate understanding of the ebb and flow of emotional storytelling through jazz.
