The Polish Jazz group, Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet (WMQ), returns with a refreshed lineup and a brand-new album, Beautiful People, set to be released in October 2024.
This highly anticipated album will be distributed worldwide in collaboration with !K7. The band recorded the album in December 2023 at the legendary S4 Studio of Polish Radio, inspired by the success of their fall tour, which drew large crowds of jazz fans in many cities.
Fueled by positive Energy and a desire to explore new sounds, WMQ entered the studio with extraordinary dynamism and passion, which can be heard in every track on Beautiful People.
Beautiful People is a spiritual journey into the world of contemporary jazz, deeply rooted in WMQ’s identity while maintaining their Slavic roots. The new material showcases the band at a unique moment of creative
growth—full of fresh energy, innovative soundscapes, and refined compositions that draw from the rich tradition of jazz while opening up new possibilities.
Wojtek was also a guest on BBC 6 Radio at Gilles Peterson audition, where Peterson stated: ”Love Wojtek’s jazz lens, a leading light, bringing Polish jazz back into the limelight!” From their album, WMQ presents two tracks: ”Beautiful People” and ”The Art Of Joy.”

The title track, ”Beautiful People,” is dedicated to the fans whose support and presence Mazolewski describes as a key element of his creative energy. “You are the Beautiful People,” says Mazolewski. “This album is an expression of gratitude that we can be with you and share our music.”
About the second song, ”The Art Of Joy,” Mazolewski states: “To be ourselves we all need to express ourselves in our own specific way. I consider creativity and expressing it in an unfettered way the key to a healthy happy life. You could say that in some abstract way the song The Art of Joy is about the power of unfettered creativity.” Stay tuned!
