Album lore

Farat, released in 2003 on Universal Music Polska, captures Anna Maria Jopek’s vocal jazz at a distinctly intimate remove. Recorded live at Studio Farat Film in Poland, the sixteen tracks showcase her deft command of Polish poetry set to jazz arrangements. The sessions feature a range of live takes, including “Ale Jestem,” which highlights her measured phrasing and subtle dynamic shifts. Jopek’s voice threads through a backdrop of understated instrumentation, lending a contemplative air without forsaking rhythmic nuance. The album’s resonance lies in its balance of lyricism and jazz idiom, preserving a regional lineage of vocal artistry. For collectors attuned to Polish jazz and poetic expression, Farat remains a quietly compelling artifact from the early 2000s scene.
