Jazz Compass (October 17, 2006)

Storybook is a unique collaboration between Larry Koonse and Darek Oleszkiewicz that features original compositions encompassing everything from music inspired by the great masters of the classical era through music influenced by the different cultures on the globe with improvisation at the core. Together they have created a recording that reveals their shared interests in lyricism, space, and intimate communication.
