DESCRIPTION:Solo – a deeply intimate yet boldly original album by Wojtek Mazolewski,
one of the most distinctive voices on today’s European jazz scene - has
attracted significant international attention, earning widespread critical
acclaim and standout coverage in leading publications including DownBeat**,
Jazzwise, Record Collector, GQ, and UK Vibe.
Solo offers a chamber-like, cinematic and deeply atmospheric listening
experience. Despite its subtle instrumentation – double bass, harp,
flute, percussion, gentle electronics and whispered vocals – the music
captivates from the very first notes. Modern in spirit, it occasionally
surprises with a gentle, dance-infused pulse. Mazolewski creates space for
focus and reflection without ever falling into new-age clichés.
Mazolewski has performed for British audiences on numerous occasions,
including sold-out shows with the Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet at London’s
Jazz Café, as well as a recent sold-out performance at Cadogan Hall as
part of the Polish Jazz Festival.

REVIEWS
“Rather than use the unadorned largely solo bass format of the album to
make an ego-driven display of virtuosity, on Solo, Mazolewski instead
places emotive melody at the forefront, creating imaginative soundscapes
where his instrumentation simply serves to allow the listener to dream.
(…) Whether he’s solo or not, for Mazolewski it seems the only way is
forward.”— DownBeat
“Mazolewski is definitely a fearless and highly original creator and I
highly recommend checking this album out.”— Jazzwise – 4/5
“A collection of striking and often atmospheric pieces built on a bedrock
of plucked and bowed double bass lines, layered with voice, flutey
keyboards, occasional folky guitar filigrees and electronic effects.
Mesmerising.”— Record Collector – 4/5
“Wojtek Mazolewski’s new album Solo is a breathtaking and captivating
musical journey. (…) Solo is a masterclass in how a solo double bass
album can be rich, cinematic, and deeply human. Essential listening.”—
UK Vibe – 5/5
“Wojtek Mazolewski’s Solo is a wonderful album, packed with contrast
and also melodies. The music relaxes, inspires, excites, and above all,
engages the listener. The double bass is given a place as the storytelling
instrument. Its narrative is spirited and warm, interacting with other
sounds and weaving works that tell of depths, reflection and rich
emotion.”— Sammy Stein
“This release signifies a transformative exploration of the double bass,
showcasing the instrument’s versatility and expressive capabilities.
Critics have already praised it as an essential listening experience,
highlighting its cinematic qualities and emotional resonance.
Mazolewski’s rising star continues to gather momentum.”— Purkulture
