Błoto is a Polish jazz quartet that emerged as an improvisational offshoot of the acclaimed EABS sextet. Formed during a spontaneous recording session between tour dates in 2018, the group consists of Latarnik (piano/synths), Wuja Haze (bass), Książę 70 (drums), and Olaf Szajewski (saxophone). Their sound identity is defined by a 'brutal' approach to jazz fusion, heavily influenced by the rhythmic language of 90s hip-hop producers like J Dilla and Madlib, but executed with the technical fluidity of contemporary jazz musicians.
Their career arc has been prolific, releasing a series of albums - Erozje, Kwiatostan, and Kwasy I Zasady - that explore themes of ecology, chemistry, and urban decay. Critically, they are positioned at the forefront of the 'Polish Jazz' resurgence, a movement that honors the country's rich avant-garde history while integrating modern electronic and hip-hop sensibilities. Their influence web connects the dusty sampling culture of the SP-1200 to the spiritual jazz of Krzysztof Komeda. Collectors value their work for its high-fidelity analog production and its ability to bridge the gap between crate-digging beat culture and serious jazz improvisation.
