Family Song

A recording by the Los Angeles Jazz Quartet, the cooperative ensemble known for its interplay‑driven, contemporary take on the saxophone‑led acoustic quartet. Released in 1998, it stands among the international titles that broadened Not Two’s early catalog beyond the Polish scene, reflecting founder Marek Winiarski’s wide‑ranging taste and network of musicians. The group’s sound was anchored by Polish bassist Darek 'Oles' Oleszkiewicz, whose presence in the LAJQ connected the project to a wider American jazz lineage; Oles, as he is known in the U.S., would go on to collaborate with major figures such as Brad Mehldau, Charles Lloyd, and many others, further underscoring the ensemble’s depth and reach.
