Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Bassist Wojciech and Drummer Nikoderm of the Polish Jazz Outfit Omasta. Based in Poland, these bold newcomers have shaken up the Polish and European jazz scenes with their debut album Jazz Report from the Hood — a powerful, groove-driven record reflecting the rhythms of city life. We talk about their creative process, the band’s evolution, and how their sound captures the essence of modern urban jazz. Omasta’s name, taken from a Krakow dialect word for “fat added for flavor,” perfectly describes their thick grooves and deep, flavorful sound.
