Album Notes

Akiko Pavolka is a New York-based vocalist, composer and bandleader whose strikingly original music blends pop and jazz with the music and sensibilities of her native Japan. Her new CD “Trust Aqua” is her fourth album as a leader and has been officially released from Tone Of A Pitch Records in Portugal in 2009.

On this album you can hear her compositions with lyrics in Japanese and English, complimented by a full six-piece ensemble that gives the music multiple images and tones to transport you to a place unlike any other. The artwork on the CD was also created by Akiko and is a part of the “Trust Aqua” experience.

Her band “House of Illusion” has been performing in New York and abroad since 1998. They will be touring Europe in the spring of 2009.
