About ELMA "Ad Rem":

"The importance of this music is twofold; firstly it is breathtakingly beautiful, emotionally intense and aesthetically stunning, and secondly it is intellectually courageous and fascinating. Elma is not regressing to the 1970s to create more of the same vocal Improvised Music created then, but takes the tradition right up to date, moving forward and updating the concept, adapting it to contemporary Jazz language, sound and vision. Her vocalese and other tricks of the trade, most of which she invented herself or expanded from earlier examples, is a completely new language in itself, which enables her to go where nobody went before; an extremely rare quality these days."

About ELMA "Ad Rem":

"This is indisputably one of the most important albums released on the Polish Jazz scene in the last decade and as far as vocal Jazz is concerned, also on a world scale. There is no other vocal Improvised Music of this intensity and innovative authority anywhere else at the moment, which makes this album simply a one of its kind. To say the truth, this album should be studied by every vocalist in the world, Jazz and otherwise, just to make them aware of what the human voice (and mind) is capable of."

About ELMA "Hic Et Nunc":

 Sensational debut recording!!!"

"ELMA - sensational discovery of the Polish jazz vocal scene"

"One of the greatest discoveries in Polish jazz AD 2014 "

" 'Hic Et Nunc' by ELMA - …the most intriguing vocal album of not only the last year"

"I have no doubt that „Hic Et Nunc” by mysterious ELMA is one of the most 

important debuts in Polish vocal jazz in recent years."

"ELMA - one of the most interesting new voices on the jazz scene"

"... ELMA's voice becomes an instrument. It carries purity. It is unshaken and movable. It is piercing at moments, and at times it is almost childlike naive, in the best sense of this word. And at the same time it is not entangled into the corset of the text or the ravel of meanings, thus it brings an unusual power of stimulating imagination! …

... When listening to ‘HIC ET NUNC’ we are truly participating in very exceptional experience of ‘here and now’, witnessing something that may never happen again... Four musicians who managed to play only the really important sounds. The quartet with no leader and no drums, however, full of motion and rhythm, where music is born as naturally as breath and it rolls with its own speed, giving no heed to the rushing world…"
