Rooted in Jazz harmonies and improvisation, building on her eclectic use of the violin –itself bridging the gap between Classical and Jazz. The album features collaborations with exceptional Slovenian musicians: Rok Zalokar on piano, Luka Dobnikar on double bass, Aleš Zorec on drums, and guest artists Jure Pukl on soprano saxophone and trumpeter Gašper Selko.
