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.

Chicago is throwing Chopin a birthday party in its front yard, but can't afford to foot the bill. The U.S. premiere of "Chopin 200: Grazyna Auguscik’s World Sound" takes place at Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park on Sunday, July 25 at 6:30 pm.

14 acclaimed jazz and classical musicians from Chicago and

around the world will present a FREE concert for 11,000 people, reinterpreting Chopin’s music for the 21st century.

And while the city is more than happy to provide the stage and promotion, and Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Chicago is partially sponsoring the event, Grazyna has to pay for most of the costs.

So let’s show how an extremely important issue art and culture is, and how crucial it is to all of us. We need your help to fund this extraordinary event.

Grazyna has to raise $30,000 by July 15, 2010.

All proceeds will be used only for the July 25 event, and we’ll stop fundraising when the goal is reached.

How much should you give? It is really up to you. Please contribute as much as you can today (and forward this on to your friends) so that we can showcase this legendary Polish composer’s work via all Chicagoans to the world .

You can do it without hesitation via BluePay secure website. Please GO TO:
