Biography
Ostaniec — a quartet performing original jazz in a classical format, threaded with the lyricism of rural music from the villages around Kraków. Across the Kraków-Częstochowa Jura, „ostańce" are the vast glacial boulders that symbolise the region. Line-up: trumpet, piano, double bass, drums. The musicians are based in the Warsaw scene.
The group was founded in early 2023 by Radosław Mosurek — jazz trumpeter and composer, a graduate of the Music Academies in Katowice and Kraków. Ostaniec's music draws on Scandinavian jazz, contemporary jazz, and Polish artists such as Tomasz Stańko, Leszek Możdżer and Adam Bałdych. Their debut album will be released in the second half of 2026.
In 2026 they perform at Rawa Jazz Fest on 26 June with special guest Natalia Muianga.
