Marcin Olak Trio – guess who’s back!

I know, we’ve had a long break. I mean long, Crossing Borders was out in 2012 – damn, 12 years? Well, I needed it. Anyway, now I ready to play that jazz thing again, some new songs, new attitude.

We played some new tunes in Chrzęsne, really cool place for music. With Maciek Szczyciński on bass and Michał Bryndal on drums.

On the YT you can see our full set. And the interview with me – sorry, it’s in Polish. But it’s kind of funny, and automatic translation can make it even more funny, I thinkAnd here are some pics, courtesy of Chrzęsne Palace, hope U enjoy.

Spontaneous Chamber Music!

We’re back. That’s what we sounded like at PanDymińska (WAW, PL), what do you think? (I know, we look like cartoon characters. Probably rejects from a colouring book. IDGaF, just listen to the music, will ya?)

Music for the Three Kings

This Saturday I’m playing in a duo at Podziemia Kamedulskie (pretty cool, underground venue in Warsaw, PL) with the phenomenal viola da gamba player, Justyna Rekść-Raubo. Mainly original compositions inspired by early music, mostly mine. Some collective impro stuff… Just come and listen. And please, check up Justyna’s recordings and performances, she’s divine!

Non-Existent Movies @ Project Cafe (WAW, PL)

Another solo improvised set is coming. Underground thing, as usual. Project Cafe is a small venue located in Warsaw, kind of art gallery. They’re opened minded and willing to listen to some experimental stuff, so here I go.

Come, listen & enjoy the music if you’re nearby.
