Songbook

digital · XJM26019

Songbook, the debut album by Copenhagen-based Polish jazz vocalist Joanna Wojtkiewicz, brings together lesser-known standards, original lyrics and Polish poetry in new arrangements. While giving the material a new setting, the project aims to preserve the elegance and romantic spirit of the Great American Songbook. Moving between intimate ballads, swing and bossa nova, the record keeps its focus on melody and storytelling. The album features guest appearances by New York trumpeter and vocalist Benny Benack III and Danish guitarist Jacob Artved.
