Marcin Oles

Marcin Oles is a Polish jazz double bassist, composer, and improviser known for his work in avant-garde and contemporary jazz circles. Active since the late 1990s, he’s part of the dynamic Oles brothers duo with his twin brother Bartłomiej “Brat” Oles (a drummer), and together they’ve explored boundary-pushing collaborations with artists like Adam Pierończyk and Michel Lambert. His projects often blend jazz with experimental textures and classical influences, as heard in releases like *Górecki Ahead* (reimagining Henryk Górecki’s compositions) or *Three Pieces in Old Style*. Recent works like *Spirit of Nadir* and *Nadir* showcase his knack for moody, cinematic soundscapes and free improvisation. Marcin’s bass playing anchors both intimate sessions (*Alone Together: Lapidaria*) and bold group efforts, cementing his reputation as a creative force in Europe’s jazz underground.
