Review by Jattuporn Butsart

Smiles Ahead by Michał Urbaniak and Urszula Dudziak is a beautifully crafted album that showcases the talents of two of Poland's most renowned jazz musicians. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, with Urbaniak's virtuosic violin playing and Dudziak's stunning vocals taking center stage.

From the opening track "Toccata and Fugue" to the closing number "The Night in Tunisia," Smiles Ahead is a joyous celebration of jazz music. The album's arrangements are intricate and complex, with each track featuring a variety of instrumental solos and improvisations.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Body and Soul," which features Dudziak's mesmerizing scat singing and Urbaniak's soulful violin playing. The two musicians complement each other perfectly, creating a sound that is both sophisticated and accessible.
