About the Quartet
The Los Angeles Jazz Quartet, established in 1994, is an emblem of L.A.’s vibrant jazz scene. This ensemble is not just a group of musicians but a collective of artistic minds, each member contributing as a composer, creating a repertoire that’s both original and dynamic. The Quartet’s sound is a harmonious blend of the classical jazz ethos of the 1950s and 60s with a modern twist, presenting acoustic jazz in a contemporary context. Band members include Chuck Manning on tenor saxophone, Larry Koonse on guitar, Darek “Oles” Oleszkiewicz on bass, and Jason Harnell on drums.
Their music is a spectrum that ranges from the intimately lyrical to the robustly hard-edged, depending on the call of the composition. This versatility reflects the LAJQ’s philosophy where each band member’s improvisation is a critical part of the collective sound.
