Here are a few quotes: „I
happened to play with Oláh Zoltán through my career.
Luckily there was a recording made of our second meeting. His simple,
but sentimental play, and his certain tempo helped me a lot. It was
a pleasure playing with him both times” István
Baló
„I played together with Oláh Zoltán several times. And „several” is not and accident!…. He is a real team player, he listens very carefully, puts his heart and soul into playing. He is a thick humming „drive” bassist. Pulls with great beat- absolutely reliable base for the soloist. His faultless drive of bass can be relied on, I hear him and know where I am at. A great young musician!” Tamás
Berki
„Zoltan is a Wonderful bassplayer and a great guy!” Joe
Murányi
„Zoltan Olah - with whom I played a lot in different groups - is one of the greatest (jazz) bass players of Hungary. Since he is also a good friend of mine, I've known him for a long time. He has always been playing with a particular sensitivity, intensity, sound and solid time. He belongs to the group of musicians who - besides having a specific instrumental knowledge - can listen to music as a whole. Although I enjoyed playing with him in any kind of settings, I usually felt that his main field is main stream jazz.” Dániel
Sz. Szabó
„I've
have known Zoli Olah for a pretty long time. We have very similar
taste in music. It wouldn't be necessary to get along with him just
because of that but Zoli is an intelligent person who "thinks
in music" and we can discus our favorite music subject, swing.
In addition to his reliable tempo, I like his true double bass solos.
Jazz... Most of us are labeled as a "difficult person to get
along with" - but who isn't a difficult person? Well, dear reader,
Zoli Olah is definitely not one. I couldn't say that there has never
been a better bassist in the world but he is one of the first few
in my address book!” Béla
