This time as solo pianist, NajPonk's latest , A Child Is Born, offers a further collection of recordings rooted mostly in jazz traditions. Next to jazz classics (Porter, Monk) lay contemporary music (Pat Metheny), instrumental versions of pop music (Beatles), bossa nova (Tom Jobim) and more. NajPonk comes straight from classic jazz roots - swinging rhythm and blues. His virtuosic, refined and individual reinterpretations of jazz and other music genre classics, without unnecessary avant-garde experimentation, lay claim to poetic and musically expressive territory. Album Tracks 1. In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning 2. A Child Is Born 3. You Are My Sunshine 4. Question and Answer 5. Blues for Benjamin 6. Caminhos Cruzados 7. Eleanor Rigby 8. I'm Afraid the Masquerade Is Over 9. If I Should Lose You 10. Another Blues for Benjamino 11. Waltz for Platka 12. Just One of Those Things 13. I Wish You Love 14. Blues for Bix 15. I Hear a Rhapsody 16. Straight No Chaser 17. You Can Depend On Me 18. Ugly Beauty - Pannonica
