Anna Maria Jopek and Pat Metheny - Upojenie - Live in Poland

A combination of two very talented musicians. Anna Maria Jopek, a well known singer from Poland. A 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. Pat Metheny, a professional jazz guitarist and a 15 times Grammy Award winner.

Both has shared their collaborative compositions which resulted a phenomenon hit it Poland. Singing along with Pat Metheny's compositions can be so impressive, full of harmony and deep rooted emotional expressions. This concert has included some of the most beautiful songs Anna and her producer-music partner-husband Marcin Kydrynski have ever written. Aside from having a pretty face, Anna Maria Jopek has a very distinct voice( similar to ENYA) that people from Poland really adores her. Lately, she has been appearing in several jazz concerts seeing with current popular jazz artists like Chris Botti ,Christian McBride, Branford Marsalis and Richard Bona.

How can you refuse to a beautiful voice and face (a great resemblance of Michelle Pfeiffer - American actress) even though her lyrics are all sung in Polish? She has a certain charisma that everybody's always drawn to her whenever she starts singing. The band members are among her closest European musicians, giving ultimate performances. This concert is some of the finest playing of a contemporary guitar genius like Mr. Pat Metheny. 1 whole hour of enjoyment!
