“Chopin's music was an inspiration to Kuba Stankiewicz, a leading pianist on the Polish acoustic jazz scene.
In his project Chopin Songbook, carried out with vocalist Inga Lewandowska, Stankiewicz demonstrated considerable musical sensitivity, successfully making his own entry in the rich tradition of Chopin inspiration in Polish jazz.”
Jazz Jamboree; Warsaw Voice 23.10.2003
“Pianist Kuba Stankiewicz has produced a hauntingly atmospheric set of arrangements, which - greatly aided by the remarkable, vibrato-free voice of Inga Lewandowska - bring out the 'folk' elements of the original songs. Suave sounds!”

Did you know?
Chopin was a great patriot, a political exile without the right to come back to Poland, which at that time was under the Russian Empire’s rule. Unfortunately his life for a couple of decades after the Second World War was presented by the way of a fairytale about the child prodigy, who became very successful in his career and having left Poland, never came back.
