There are nine songs on it – eight jazz “classic” and one author’s song, written for the instrumental trio. Just before her release, her second jazz album, which she recorded in collaboration with Big Band of RTV Slovenia and Milan Stanisavljević, by the title “You and I and the music”; it will be published in digital form at the ZKP publishing house.
