- Anna Serafińska vocals, Rafał Stępień grand piano, Cezary Konrad drums
Serafińska made the voice the lead instrument, alternating words, scat and more operatic colours over Rafał Stępień’s piano and Cezary Konrad’s percussion.
It places the trio in a Polish tradition opened by the NOVI Singers’ celebrated vocal Chopin album, but pares the ensemble down to something much more intimate.
