Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet Live Spirit I

“Kalaczakra” marks the powerful return of Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet, one of Europe’s leading jazz ensembles. The new single offers the first glimpse of their upcoming album Live Spirit I. Built around a catchy horn motif, a distinctive bass line, and a free-flowing, pulsing drum rhythm, the track brilliantly blends Polish and spiritual jazz traditions with a raw, modern edge—bold, uplifting, and unmistakably fresh.
The forthcoming album Live Spirit I, recorded live at Warsaw’s iconic Witold Lutosławski Concert Studio, captures WMQ at their most vital. The double LP—out in July—features four brand-new compositions and expansive reworks of fan favorites. Mazolewski’s music reveals a potent mix of vitality and groove—qualities that have kept jazz relevant across generations and continue to attract new audiences.
