The Oleś Brothers, comprising double bassist Marcin Oleś and drummer Bartłomiej Brat Oleś, are an esteemed Polish jazz duo celebrated for their avant-garde and experimental approach to jazz and improvised music. With an impressive discography that showcases their versatility and creativity, they have become one of the most intriguing forces in contemporary jazz. The brothers have a distinctive style, often blending elements of Eastern European folk music with modern jazz and free improvisation, creating a unique musical language that is both rich in tradition and boldly innovative.

Their recent projects demonstrate a broad range of musical interests and a deep respect for diverse musical heritages. From the reflective and spiritually inclined "Spirit Of Nadir" to the energetic and complex "Górecki Ahead," which pays homage to the renowned Polish composer Henryk Górecki, the Oleś Brothers continuously push the boundaries of jazz. Their explorations into the works of other composers, as with "Waterfall: Music of Joe Zawinul," display their ability to reinterpret and inject new life into the music of jazz greats, while original projects like "Koptycus" and "Directions - Echoes" are a testament to their prowess as both composers and performers. Through their extensive body of work, the Oleś Brothers have carved out a niche that celebrates the past while simultaneously writing new chapters in the evolving story of jazz.
