Yumi Ito is not only a distinguished musician, but also an independent composer and singer who moves weightlessly and at the same time competently between jazz, art-pop, electronica, free improvisation and neo-classical music, generating a sound that comes across as fresh and often surprising. The musician, composer and arranger with Polish and Japanese roots navigates through the musical fields with concentration and precision, unwaveringly following her own path.
Ed Partyka arranges the guest singer's compositions for the Zurich Jazz Orchestra and its soloists. The music comes mainly from Yumi Ito's critically acclaimed albums "Stardust Crystals" and "Ekual".
