This must be the most jazzy track of the upcoming album - Hang-driven, arranged with piano, cello and vocal. This is also one of three tracks where the vocals are mine (on all other tracks the vocals are by the awa...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKkIvRtxPFY --- We've been so busy this year working on our upcoming album. It was the most challenging musical project we've ever attempted before - first composing it, then working with all the session musicians and audio engineers. The album will be released on October 30th along with the music video. Today we release one of the tracks as the first single...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXTK758pFG4 ---- To tell the truth, I didn't feel much of a change with all the quarantine and stuff. I was living mostly in my musical cave before and just kept doing the same. Maybe not exactly a "creep" but I'm such a weirdo. A couple years back, when my husband showed me the version of this song covered by Post Modern Jukebox, I fell in love with it. So,...

Video: https://youtu.be/Hkwc-CXJ0Oo --- For my mom who introduced me to the beauty in sounds and colours. For my father, who shaped my diverse musical tastes and pushed me into improvising. For my husband who inspired me to come back to music and keep going no matter what challenges I might face. And for my amazing children, who I love and hope to pass this tradition to... These past months have b...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ffqbo8UYtg ---- This tune is my deepest connection to my dad , who recently celebrated his 70th birthday... Whenever my dad, the maestro of jazz, would start playing this, I would melt and give up anything just to be able to play like him one day... one day when I grow up... I practiced this only for one month, I admit. Because ever since he stopped playing...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdRfsD0XnzM --- This musical became one of my favorites and many of my students took vocal lessons from me to sing this song and then performed it at our semi-annual recitals (and quite nailed it!). So, I thought, it's time to actually record my own version of it. Though, I am never satisfied neither with my singing nor with my playing, "Never enough" - it's...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1EEWAwzYZk --- In these last days of 2019 I want to wish you all Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! and I hope you will enjoy this jazzy take on the famous tune :) This year has been very fruitful and busy. My husband and I released 3 full-length piano solo albums and one EP with 4 jazz quartet tracks. We had 23 recording sessions in our studio for o...

Video: https://youtu.be/JjHDdbdR0sg --- It was kind of a personal request coming from my husband: he wanted me to sing this song that always leaves him in tears... Then he asked me to make an arrangement for a choir. The version he loves has strings on it but he thought to make an all acoustic version in our studio... and since we don't have strings.. but have my voice.. so he got this idea - to r...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xrt9OM7ts8 Yesterday it was raining and the ripples on puddles inspired this spontaneous improvisation on Una Corda. And today we got the first snow :) It was a nice escape from all the busy life lately. Haven't had any chances to record anything because we've been so busy filming the music video for my theatrical song. The video shoot went great! It was cha...
