In March 2006 Aga recorded her second album Pickung Up the Pieces

reviews in Poland. At JOE'S PUB Í and on January 10th at BLUES ALLEY

Skrzypek, is promoting her new CD with back-up by New York jazz artists
Bryn Roberts on piano, Alexis Cuadrado on double bass, and Mark Ferber
on drums.
Aga Zaryan graduated with honors from the Warsaw Public
School of Music, and then studied under the legendary Ewa Bem in
the Department of Jazz Song Studies at the Bednarska Street Music
School in Warsaw. In 1998 she took second place at the International
Jazz Singers Competition in Zamosc, subsequently receiving scholarships
to attend two international jazz workshops in the United States
Í the Stanford Jazz Workshop and Jazz Camp West, where she gained
further knowledge under the instruction of such internationally
recognized vocalists as Rebecca Parris and Madeline Eastman.
Her debut album, My Lullaby (2002) received great
reviews in Poland, as well as Japan, where it was officially released.
It was nominated for the Polish Recording Academy's "Fryderyk" Award,
in the "Jazz Album of the Year" category. Since then, Aga has performed
at clubs and festivals in Poland, the USA, Israel, England, and
the Czech Republic. Readers of Jazz Forum magazine voted her one
