Plate at the highest level recorded ten years ago in Krakow is great. After exhausting effort of the first edition of the album, album re-released in a new attractive layout in a digipack. You might as well treat this record as recorded today, because after ten years of making records is still very fresh. After the rhythmic title track being one of the three original compositions Karen Edwards posted on the board opening -First pearl album: quite unusual and wonderfully sung version of 'Summertime' 'George Gershwin. It would seem that the standard is implemented in all sorts of so many interpretations of the world's greatest artists can no longer sound creatively. Meanwhile, Jarek version Cream and Karen Edwards is simply stunning; wieloglosy appear as background vocals Karen bring great association with Manhattan Transfer vocal arrangements and guitar Cream perfectly complements the whole. 

Perfectly sound '' Do not Let Me Be Lonely Tonight '' J.Taylora, decorated with magnificent solo guitarist, whose vocal 'przyspiewujacy' guitar during the game makes it one of the best parts of the disc. Edwards's voice seems to have unlimited possibilities when it passes freely singer with a deep low even girlish vocals, flickering manner of a singer. Great glory to Jarek Cream for the discovery of the Polish listeners this unique musical personality that is undoubtedly talented Karen Edwards! Masterpiece is another topic of Gershwin's' Porgy And Bess' ':' 'I Loves You Porgy / Bess, You Is My Woman' '-great this time thanks to Karen for convincing Jarek to sing a duet of this beautiful theme. Sound vocal lines perfectly straight against Cracovia Symfonietta Wojtek Karolak arrangement. I have a collection of records many different versions of this subject in the execution of Major (even R.Charles-C.Laine or L.Armstrong-E.Fitzgerald) and I have no doubt as to the inclusion of this version of the most beautiful I've ever heard, and among recorded in the last years is simply the best! Another theme is '' Samba Carrera '' kompozycja Cream and W.Sendeckiego. 

Here Karen sings wordless vocals unusual in the hot rhythms of samba -mistrzostwo! Edwards second composition on the album is great '' Tuxido Blues '' decorated with an outstanding solo blues Cream. Maybe a little tease in this piece added electronic background, but the sound of several guitars Cream, cool bass solo (T.Kupiec) and famously sounding drums (A.Czerwinski) are '' cherries' 'to the blues'' cake '. '' Mr. Soul '' Cream is another piece decorated with wordless vocals doskonaly climate jazz traditions Novi Singers caring whether some of the best achievements of Urszula Dudziak.

Karen Edwards is an extremely versatile singer and composer kolejnym proof of this is the gospel song by her: 'I Will Trust In The Lord' ', referring to the famous'' Amazing Grace '' J.Newtona. Karen performs the song solo accompanying himself on the piano only. Listening to 'The Face I Love' 'heard a similar style of vocal interpretation which popularized Basia. Hard hitting piano keys Karen sings vocals to at some point give way to another great solo guitar Cream. It is extremely rare to piano and guitar as a wonderful complement for this album; one instrument accompanies another, and after a while seamlessly swap roles. This really excellent second album ends with posted recordings with the orchestra arrangement Symfonietta W.Karolaka Cracovia. 

This time it is a beautiful theme Carmichael: '' Skylark ', during which it would appear that nothing has vocals Karen does not surprise us after a few minutes of listening to a disc. However, it is otherwise; beautiful voice reveals its further areas unless an unlimited scale, while the cream treats us to the next solos in his only unique and recognizable style. Against the background of the orchestra sounds great. The end of the album? No, I listen again ... from the beginning!
