OLTER

A documentary film dedicated to the great percussionist Jacek Olter (1972-2001). “He was one of the greatest percussion talents of all time,” Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski said of him. He performed on recordings by twenty other artists, but never managed to make his own solo record. It was only released following his tragic death. Over forty outstanding musicians took part in the recording, including Leszek Mo¿d¿er, Tymon Tymanski, Maciej Sikała, and Mikołaj Trzaska.
