featuring - Jarek Bester

2003 freshly released "Past Forward" by Grazyna Auguscik though it once again resists easy classification because of its musical eclecticism, is jazz in all its contemporary potential, pulsating, exhilarating, eastern musical origins leading to the past, uncanny impression of wholeness, featuring remarkably talented accordion player Jarek Bester, with her alto - warm and hypnotic simply brilliant, it is another from "Graz" must-hear experience.

Grazyna Auguscik is one of the most unique and charismatic figures to emerge from the Chicago jazz scene in years.
Her prolific career has resulted in a host of self-produced albums of original material and carefully-chosen covers, while her live shows continue to leave audiences with a sense of awe and spiritual enlightenment. Grazyna has contributed to Continental Collide, Spirit on High and 7/8, her own composition.
