"I have had the pleasure to see Graz in concert twice, once at the 2002 Chicago Jazz Fest and later again that year at a small club, the way she plays on this album is just like her livge perfomance. She jazzes, she swings, she scats, she simply takes you with the music and it is simply an expierence. I know some Polish, not a lot, but that doesn't matter, the music here is beyond definition, its simply excellent. Jarek Bester is a master on the accordion, his playing will make you enjoy accordion music again and you will never look at accordion the same way again. If you seek a different kind of jazz/music with an international flavor yet swings and takes you to places you have never been, give Graz and Jarek a try and you won't disappointed or the same."
