A new, already third album by Jaromír Honzák (at the same time a member of Iva Bittová’s band Čikori and also of the Eben brothers band) recorded with an international band follows his previous Earth life. Using the electric guitar, utilizing the bow play on contrabass more often or playing the electric piano, a better sound coloring was achieved. Jaromír Honzák, the graduate from Berklee College in Boston, continues in the internationally famous Czech bass school on the fame of which for example George Mraz or Miroslav Vitouš participated. In the past, Honzák appeared in his own bands, however, he cooperated also with Christian Rover’s trio or with Quartet East. The exclusively authorial repertoire of the band’s leader may be best characterized as a style-open contemporary music. The previous album Earth life was awarded the Harmony Price (Cena Harmonie) for the best Czech jazz recording of 2000. Tara Fuki sing in the last song of this new album.

Nové již třetí album Jaromíra Honzáka (m.j. též člena kapely Čikori Ivy Bittové a také skupiny bratrů Ebenů) nahrané s mezinárodní kapelou navazuje na jeho předchozí Earth Life. Použitím elektrické kytary, častějším využitím smyčcové hry na kontrabas, případně využitím elektrického piana bylo dosaženo větší zvukové barevnosti. Jaromír Honzák, absolvent bostonské Berklee College navazuje na světově proslavenou českou basovou školu, na jejímž renomé mají svůj díl například George Mraz nebo Miroslav Vitouš. Honzák v minulosti vystupoval ve vlastních uskupeních, spolupracoval však také s triem Christiana Rovera či s Quartet East. Výhradně autorský repertoár leadra skupiny lze asi nejlépe charakterizovat jako stylově otevřenou soudobou hudbu. Předchozí album Earth Life, získalo Cenu Harmonie za nejlepší českou jazzovou nahrávku roku 2000. Na novém albu si v závěrečné písničce zazpívaly Tara Fuki.
