| MyGen Profile Generator. . . .”She's a music machine" - Christopher Loudon JAZZ TIMES ”A strikingly original vocal style, hauntingly beautiful” - Bill Milkowski JAZZIZ "Auguscik and her ensemble are out of this world" - Howard Reich “ Celestial jazz vocalist ” — Dr. Judith Schlesinger All About Jazz (2007) "Grazyna Auguscik is the musical equivalent of a distance runner, with a muscular, concentrated style and no excess fat or wasted movement" — Neil Tesser Playboy jazz critic.Find out why the LA Times says "Grazyna Auguscik is doing important work in advancing the potential for imaginative jazz singing. She is a singer to be watched. " “ Auguscik has assembled a dream band … taking charge of the band she has created, she could make a difference in jazz today. Auguscik may be on the brink of innovation as does her new CD“ — Howard Reich " Chicago Tribune"ABOUT LIVE SOUNDS LIVE By Sonordo and Sara Wollan. ____________________________________________________________ ______ ____________________________________________________________ ______ ____________________________________________________________ ______It all started with the voice. Imagine a flawless and soulful instrument that is both powerful yet strikingly vulnerable as it engages. It’s a gift that transcends musical genres and all industry trends.For acclaimed performer Grazyna Auguscik that voice and all-round talent has garnered her countless enthusiastic reviews throughout the world. Stunned U.S. critics dubbed her “the one who can change the face of today’s jazz”. European Jazz Forum Magazine has given her a prestigious Best Jazz Vocal Award for the last four years running.Her new album “Live sounds Live” stands out as one of her most engaging and innovative concerts to date. So many were spellbound by G.A.G. that night in June of 2006.Fortunately for those not in attendance at Chicago's Green Mill (legendary home of Patricia Barber and Kurt Elling as well as Ms. Auguscik) it was recorded. The vibe of uncanny mood was silently captured by the brilliant sound engineer Christopher Grabowski. He previously collaborated with Ms. Auguscik at the live concert launching of her highly acclaimed nationally embraced 2005 Jazz Charter “The Light”.This album represents a passionate love for the voice and its amazing soundscapes which are enhanced by the musical mastery of guitarist John McLean, accordion virtuoso Jarek Bester, violinist Zach Brock, bassist Matt Ulery and drummer Jon Deitemyer... energetically and synergistically fused as one. The album was recorded live on one night only, with a single take and no overdubs. It is as it really was.The past is the present and the present leads us all to the future. | |
