Twilight Cafe –Smooth Jazz for a Romantic Evening
Premiere on April 30, 2021
This is a musical project by Joanna Morea, a composer, saxophonist, flutist, and music producer, as well as Adam Potęga, a composer and sound engineer.
The album includes 10 instrumental tracks, all composed by Joanna, evoking a good and relaxed mood. Each composition is melodic, with a simple form. You will hear pleasant sounds of the saxophone, flute, and keyboard. In today’s overwhelming noise of advertisements and chaos, this compilation provides an escape from reality, offering space for thoughts and reflections. Joanna Morea’s music combines modern, jazzy vibes with tasteful and stylish improvisation. Adam’s arrangement explorations gravitate around electronic music, smooth jazz, nu-jazz, and even pop or drum and bass.

„Joanna Morea With Power”
W skład projektu „Joanna Morea With Power” wchodzą uznana polska wokalistka, flecistka i saksofonistka jazzowa Joanna Morea oraz producent muzyczny, kompozytor, realizator dźwięku: Adam Potęga.
Projekt „Joanna Morea With Power” to połączenie dwóch odmiennych światów muzycznych – jazzowego, zwłaszcza improwizacji i kompozycji Joanny, z chilloutową, elektroniczną czy nawet dance’ową produkcją Adama. Ta inność wyzwala w nich nowe podejście do muzyki, w pewnym sensie tworzy się nowa jakość. Tak zresztą zostały przyjęte dwa pierwsze single (w ubiegłym roku) jako początek nowej i niezwykle interesującej formy muzycznej.
Razem eksperymentują, pozwalając sobie czasem na daleko idącą dowolność stylową, dlatego niby proste w odbiorze utwory nie dają się tak łatwo sklasyfikować.
Muzyka: wszystkie kompozycje – Joanna Morea
Produkcja, aranże: Adam Potęga.

Joanna Morea Crazy People
On March 3, 2017, Pronet Music released the album Crazy People.
The album Crazy People, in its English-language version, was released on October 13, 2017.
The English version includes songs that were originally recorded in Polish and later translated and performed in English, giving them a new sound and character.
The album features 13 tracks, most of them performed by Joannay Morea, including two versions of The Boswell Sisters' 1932 composition Crazy People. It also includes guest appearances by Urszula Dudziak, Zbigniew Namysłowski, and Robert Majewski. Additionally, the lyrics for three songs were written by Marek Gaszyński.
*”The album is a musical mosaic—a collection of my experiences and inspirations. The lyrics and melodies reflect my travels (Holidays in Bangkok, Tropical Paradise), personal experiences (10 Bitter Tears), and female emotions (Casanova’s Woman). Some lyrics, gifted to me by Marek Gaszyński and Magda Bargiełowska, are deeply personal and have been woven into my songs (Jazz Notes, Personal Freedom, Not Now).
My musical roots lie in traditional jazz and swing, a passion I cultivated through collaborations with bands like the Ragtime Jazz Band and the Malmo Jazz Kings, as well as esteemed musicians such as Mietek Mazur, Dymitr Markiewicz, Wojtek Kamiński, and Dan Levinson. While I am currently drawn to swing, my musical journey may lead me to explore other styles in the future.
Recording an album is like capturing a moment in time—a snapshot frozen for eternity. It preserves a musical essence for posterity, including for my children. That was my goal, because in today’s fast- changing world, nothing remains the same for long."*
