Deeply rooted in the spirit of the 1970s &#8211; when funk, soul, fusion, and psychedelia were still too young to know they were separate genres &#8211; Klawo blend an old-school approach with a modern sensibility that nods to post-Dilla jazz, indie, and electronic music. With two acclaimed studio albums and a reputation for electrifying live shows, Klawo have performed at some of Europe\u2019s most prestigious festivals, including Montreux Jazz Festival, ESNS, Fusion Festival and Off Festival. In autumn 2025, they made their Japanese debut with two shows at Sound Culture: Poland x Japan Music Festival in Osaka. Emerging from the vibrant and diverse Gda\u0144sk music scene, and having played nearly 100 shows across 14 countries, Klawo are recognised as one of Poland\u2019s most exciting contemporary jazz acts. Driven by two keyboards, a powerful rhythm section, and melodic horns, their sound has drawn comparisons to contemporary UK jazz, 1970s Polish funk, and experimental LA hip-hop &#8211; though the truth is likely somewhere in between.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/Klawo-25-26-by-Pawel-Zanio-13-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11890\" style=\"width:530px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/Klawo-25-26-by-Pawel-Zanio-13-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/Klawo-25-26-by-Pawel-Zanio-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/Klawo-25-26-by-Pawel-Zanio-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/Klawo-25-26-by-Pawel-Zanio-13-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/Klawo-25-26-by-Pawel-Zanio-13-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Line-up:<br>KONSTANTY KOSTKA \u2013 keyboards<br>KAROL TCH\u00d3RZ \u2013 trumpet<br>ALICJA SOBSTYL \u2013 flute, vocals<br>TOMASZ RAFALSKI \u2013 keyboards, percussion<br>ARTUR SZALSZA \u2013 bass, guitar<br>JAKUB KRZANOWSKI \u2013 drums<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Ticket prices: \u00a335 \u2013 \u00a350<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">See more information about the venue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ronniescotts.co.uk\"><mark>here<\/mark><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronnie Scott&#8217;s Jazz Club47 Frith StreetSohoLondonW1D 4HT Almost 20 years to the day since hip hop&#8217;s greatest&nbsp;producer&#8217;s untimely death,&nbsp;Polish quartet B\u0142oto &#8211;&nbsp;one of the most vital voices to emerge from Europe\u2019s jazz underground in recent years &#8211; bring their&nbsp;We Remember J Dilla project to Ronnie Scott&#8217;s&nbsp;for their&nbsp;first ever London show.

Deeply rooted in the spirit of the 1970s - when funk, soul, fusion, and psychedelia were still too young to know they were separate genres - Klawo blend an old-school approach with a modern sensibility that nods to post-Dilla jazz, indie, and electronic music. With two acclaimed studio albums and a reputation for electrifying live shows, Klawo have performed at some of Europe\u2019s most prestigious festivals, including Montreux Jazz Festival, ESNS, Fusion Festival and Off Festival. In autumn 2025, they made their Japanese debut with two shows at Sound Culture: Poland x Japan Music Festival in Osaka. Emerging from the vibrant and diverse Gda\u0144sk music scene, and having played nearly 100 shows across 14 countries, Klawo are recognised as one of Poland\u2019s most exciting contemporary jazz acts. Driven by two keyboards, a powerful rhythm section, and melodic horns, their sound has drawn comparisons to contemporary UK jazz, 1970s Polish funk, and experimental LA hip-hop - though the truth is likely somewhere in between.\\nLine-up:KONSTANTY KOSTKA \u2013 keyboardsKAROL TCH\u00d3RZ \u2013 trumpetALICJA SOBSTYL \u2013 flute, vocalsTOMASZ RAFALSKI \u2013 keyboards, percussionARTUR SZALSZA \u2013 bass, guitarJAKUB KRZANOWSKI \u2013 drums\\nTicket prices: \u00a335 \u2013 \u00a350\\nSee more information about the venue here.\"},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"pl-PL\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/2026\/01\/21\/polish-jazz-bands-at-ronnie-scotts-jazz-club-in-london-in-2026\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/obraz_2026-01-21_163017370.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/obraz_2026-01-21_163017370.png\",\"width\":2880,\"height\":1440},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/2026\/01\/21\/polish-jazz-bands-at-ronnie-scotts-jazz-club-in-london-in-2026\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Polish Jazz Bands at Ronnie Scott&#8217;s Jazz Club in London in 2026\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/\",\"name\":\"Instytut Polski w Londynie\",\"description\":\"Instytuty Polskie\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"pl-PL\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/#\/schema\/person\/650660f82290e905505348ef8ca79a33\",\"name\":\"konopkab\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"pl-PL\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fb1006bc5b4ae26fa605cdf675d5e97c?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fb1006bc5b4ae26fa605cdf675d5e97c?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"konopkab\"},\"url\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/author\/konopkab\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Polish Jazz Bands at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London in 2026 - Instytut Polski w Londynie","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/london\/2026\/01\/21\/polish-jazz-bands-at-ronnie-scotts-jazz-club-in-london-in-2026\/","og_locale":"pl_PL","og_type":"article","og_title":"Polish Jazz Bands at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London in 2026 - Instytut Polski w Londynie","og_description":"Ronnie Scott&#8217;s Jazz Club47 Frith StreetSohoLondonW1D 4HT Almost 20 years to the day since hip hop&#8217;s greatest&nbsp;producer&#8217;s untimely death,&nbsp;Polish quartet B\u0142oto &#8211;&nbsp;one of the most vital voices to emerge from Europe\u2019s jazz underground in recent years &#8211; bring their&nbsp;We Remember J Dilla project to Ronnie Scott&#8217;s&nbsp;for their&nbsp;first ever London show.

In just 32 years, James Yancey aka Jay-Dee or J Dilla, redefined the sound of hip hop, racking up production credits with A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Erykah Badu, The Pharcyde, Common, D\u2019Angelo and more, as well as releasing his hugely influential album Donuts in 2006. Since their explosive debut in 2020, Wroc\u0142aw band B\u0142oto have cultivated a reputation for radical live performances and concept-driven LPs. Drawing from spiritual jazz, hip-hop and raw improvisation, their unique sound is deeply rooted in 90s hip-hop-inspired grooves. After a long hiatus, alongside the release of new album Grzybnia, the band launched the We Remember J Dilla project. This is a rare chance to hear one of the most forward-thinking jazz acts on the continent reinterpreting the beats of the hip-hop legend in their own unique way. \nLine-up:OLAFSAXX \u2013 saxophones, synthesizersLATARNIK \u2013 piano, synthesizersWUJA HZG \u2013 bass guitarCANCER G \u2013 drums\nTicket prices: \u00a335 \u2013 \u00a350 \nThe band\u2019s name, Omasta, comes from a regional Krakow dialect word meaning \u201cfat added to food for flavuor.\u201d It\u2019s an apt metaphor: their music is rich and saturated, driven by thick drums and deep, heavy bass, layered beneath the melodic interplay of piano, trumpet, saxophone, and flute. Formed in Krakow over several years, Omasta officially launched with a tribute to J Dilla in February 2024 at the city\u2019s iconic Paul\u2019s Boutique. Since then, they have been making waves across Poland and Europe, performing at major venues and festivals. They collaborate with genre-shaping artists such as Madlib, Aquiles Navarro (Irreversible Entanglements), Marysia Osu, Tenderlonious, and Polish free jazz legend Leszek \u017b\u0105d\u0142o. Their live tributes to hip-hop visionaries have further cemented their reputation, merging jazz improvisation with the spirit and legacy of beat culture. In October 2025, Omasta released their debut album via Astigmatic Records. The record received strong critical recognition and was featured in year-end best-of lists by influential tastemakers such as Somewhere Soul and journalist Tina Edwards, further establishing the band\u2019s international profile.\nEvery Friday and Saturday night from 11.15pm, Ronnie Scott\u2019s presents the Late Late Show, where some of the UK\u2019s finest jazz talent takes to the stage for a late-night blowing session.
