Anna Maria Jopek's concert at the Blue Note Tokyo (5th October, 2013) was preceded by a meeting with the audience. After appearances in 2009 and 2011, this was the 15th concert of the Polish vocalist at this legendary club. The band also played a short concert at the Lounge Anjin on 4th October. Thanks to the Polish Institute in Tokyo, Japanese audiences also had the chance to see and listen to Anna Maria Jopek in the Japanese radio and television. Anna Maria Jopek had been well known in Japan for several years, and her cooperation with Japanese artists led to releasing the album HAIKU, where she is accompanied by the Japanese musician Makoto Ozone. However, in October the vocalist was accompanied only by Polish musicians.
After the concerts in Japan, on 6th October, Anna Maria Jopek Band played on the main stage of the largest jazz event in Korea - Jarasum International Jazz Festival.
