This is a concert featuring songs by The Police re-arranged by Pawel Tomaszewski. The songs on the album are performed by a jazz sextet headed by vocalist Marta Król. The style of the arrangements oscillates between jazz and soul, and is broken up by the orchestration of wind instruments, which adds elegance and at times a film climate. The aim in creating the music was to reach the widest possible audience for good music.
