Czech Jazz Recording of the year 2000 Magazine Harmonie Awards The second album under his own name confirms Jaromír Honzák's position on the Czech jazz scene as a thoughtful creator for whom run-of-the-mill chorus playing is not enough. (That kind of approach is featured in the only standard, “Monk's Dream”.) He wants each recording to "tell a story" and selects the soloists for each composition according to its character and needs. (Dr. Lubomír Dorůžka ) Czech Jazz Recording of the year 2000 Magazine Harmonie Awards Druhé album pod jeho vlastním jménem potvrzuje pověst, které se Jaromír Honzák těší na české jazzové scéně: pověst skladatele-koumáka, který se nespokojuje se souborem s běžným chorusovým hraním (takový přístup zachycuje na tomto albu jen jediný standard, Monk's Dream), ale pro každou skladbu si vybírá sólisty podle jejího charakteru a jejích potřeb.
