Her voice has a distinctive sound and style, and her choice of tunes spans genres, so it is not surprising that Polish-born vocalist Grazyna Auguscik has made a bit of a name for herself in the active Chicago jazz scene. Like contemporary Patricia Barber, another word sculptor from the Windy City, Auguscik defies pigeonholing, and as with Barber, her voice emanates a dark, brooding quality that is quite unlike any other. Ultimately, Auguscik's sound will not appeal to everyone, with its slightly off-beat qualities and odd harmonies. One thing in her favor: a compatible band, with first-rate performers such as accordionist Jarek Bester, who solos beautifully on "Bachianas Brasileiras," and local mainstays bassist Eric Hochberg and guitarist John McLean. .. She leaps across intervals, repeats phrases, and puts her entire self into her songs. The results sometimes charm and more often challenge, auguring well for the future of jazz singing. She points in an uncharted direction that takes nothing for granted, as little sounds mix with soft subtlety and poetic lyrics to achieve something just different enough to raise a few eyebrows.
Having graduated as an architect from the Technical University Budapest (BME), and as guitarist from the Jazz Faculty of the Béla Bartók Conservatory, he started to play in leading Hungarian jazz bands. He founded his own band, the group „Kaszakő” in 1975, which had a really original sound. Their first record was published under the title Édenkert (Garden of Eden) in 1983. He formed the group „Things” with sax player Tony Lakatos in 1985, which functioned for a period of seven years.

from Once Upon a Time 2002
I have been blessed to meet and play with Attila László and his music for over ten years. Attila László's music is so wonderful in so many ways, I always hear a very broad span of musical influences coming from his playing and music so much, that I stopped trying to figure it out, I just enjoy it and always be alert and ready for what comes next. Every time I play a concert with him, I can expect the music to live within me, and it does. Which is what we have become, "Brothers". - Tommy Campbell
Attila László - electric and acoustic guitars, Kálmán Oláh - piano, keyboards, Béla Lattman - electric and acoustic bass, Kornél Horváth - percussions, Péter Szendőfi - drums
Jaco Pastorius was a meteor who blazed on to the scene in the 1970s, only to flame out tragically in the 1980s. With a brilliantly fleet technique and fertile melodic imagination, Pastorius made his fretless electric bass leap out from the depths of the rhythm section into the front line with fluid machine-gun-like passages that demanded attention.
Teen Town - Victor Wooten (Jaco Pastorius) 4:10
Punk Jazz - Richard Bona (Jaco Pastorius) 5:03
Killing Me Softly - Jeff Carswell (Pee Wee Ellis / Charles Fox / Norman Gimbel / Jaco Pastorius) 4:22

Back before he turned everyone's idea of bass playing inside out, Jaco Pastorius spent five years on the bandstand with the Peter Graves Orchestra at Bachelors III, a swanky spot in his hometown of Ft. Lauderdale. Nearly three decades after the future star's departure in 1975, and 16 years after his brutal murder, Graves got the guys back together, christened them in their former colleague's name, and invited the most prominent bass guitarists of the early 21st century down to join them in a project dedicated to Pastorius' legacy. Throughout these polished performances, the bass parts testify to how profoundly Pastorius altered that instrument's role. Bottom line (so to speak): he gave them the option of playing from a soloist mentality and blowing all over the beat, as fast and free as any saxophonist, as long as he or she had chops and didn't subvert the groove. The guest bassists on this collection absorbed this lesson long ago. Each can scatter quick licks, some of them even faster than Pastorius himself...
