Following quotes from Anna’s official website (anna-maria-jopek.com)

The Universal recording artist is a classically trained pianist and graduated from Chopin’s Academy of Music in Warsaw, Poland. After briefly studying in Manhattan School of Music’s Jazz Department Anna decided not to play Mozart concertos anymore and trade her beloved Ravel for Keith Jarrett. Philharmonic Hall for a small, smoky clubs and theatres.

“Please do not file my music under jazz” - Anna Maria Jopek says, though. “Nor under pop, folk…whatever. I embrace a lot of influences. Jazz is by far the most important in its freedom, its harmony and its sense of time, but I was brought up with the old Polish folk songs. So I’m kind of rooted here in all these Slavic landscapes and sounds”.

With 10 albums of her own Anna Maria Jopek performed and recorded with all the important artists in Poland including numerous concerts and recordings with an ECM-based trumpeter Tomasz Stańko. During the Jazz Jamboree International Festival 40th Anniversary Gala in 1998 she performed with the one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time: Joe Lovano.
