Aga Zaryan, a major star of European vocalists conveys the finest of jazz to today's audiences, continuing the traditions of great divas like Shirley Horn, Carmen McRae and Joni Mitchell. She is known for her distinctive style and intimate approach to singing with a characteristic lightness of phrasing and slightly matte-toned voice. Warm, engaging and very personal, shes the unique interpreter of both contemporary and classic jazz repertoire - "A rare gem" they say.

The vocalist is an example of integrating ambitious artistic goals with popular appeal, recording eight albums to date, all of which have earned gold, platinum or multi-platinum status in Poland. Her bestselling "Picking Up The Pieces," "Looking Walking Being" and "A Book of Luminous Things" have been released on Blue Note Records. Her latest studio album "Remembering Nina & Abbey" released by Parlophone was recorded with Brian Blade, Geri Allen and Larry Koonse among others. It's a tribute to Nina Simone and Abbey Lincoln.
