Polish saxophonist Oleksandr Kolosii, now based in Denmark, brings a thoughtful approach to jazz on his latest album, “Crossed Sounds,” set for release on October 2nd, 2025. Kolosii’s background is rooted in a family of professional musicians, and his early training in classical piano and saxophone is evident in his precise technique and careful attention to detail.
The album draws on the traditions of bebop and hard bop, with clear nods to legends like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane, while also incorporating influences from world music. Kolosii’s sound is distinctive, shaped by years of study with respected mentors in Denmark and private tuition from leading jazz figures.

“Crossed Sounds” features a strong lineup: Alex Sipiagin on trumpet, Lorenz Kellhuber on piano, Makar Novikov on double bass, and Donald Edwards on drums. The group’s interplay is measured and cohesive, giving the album a sense of unity and purpose. Kolosii’s saxophone lines are confident and expressive, and the rhythm section provides a solid foundation throughout.
Rather than relying on grand gestures, Kolosii’s musicianship comes through in his subtle phrasing and attentive delivery. The album balances complexity with accessibility, offering listeners a clear sense of direction without overwhelming them.
“Crossed Sounds” is a well-crafted addition to the contemporary jazz scene—an album that highlights Kolosii’s skill as both a player and a bandleader. It’s a project that rewards careful listening and stands as a solid example of modern jazz done well.
