Everlasting Suite is a musical reflection of my first years of artistic emigration in Milan. It expresses my experiences with language barriers, feelings of loneliness in a new place, and difficulties in adaptation, but also the process of overcoming these challenges and gradually building self-confidence in a new environment. These pieces also capture the essence of the people I have met over time, who have now become like a second family to me in Milan.
I believe that the different parts of the suite will take listeners on a journey through emotions and stories that, while drawn from my own life, are shared by many with the same intensity. Everlasting Suite is my musical story about change, turning points, doubts, adaptation, growth, development, transformation, and the search for and discovery of oneself.

"Artistic coordination is one of the strongest aspects of Everlasting Suite, where the natural flow of each element shapes the musical experience. It’s stylistically refined yet free from rigid conventions, and even the more classical motifs in Jaromir Rusnak’s music shine with excellence. Freshness, dedication, and deep respect for fundamental values. This is what makes it such a truly captivating project." - Łukasz Dębowski

"Rusnak’s approach grants the musicians significant improvisational freedom, often pushing their phrasing far beyond conventional boundaries. This is music marked by a deep respect for sound, space, and air, never shying away from textural exploration." - Piotr Iwicki

"Jaromir Rusnak, a Polish bassist of great technical and compositional skill has created this fine recording project by giving his musicians a lot of freedom. As a result, they are able to intersperse solo performances, each more interesting than the last, showcasing both their technical abilities and interpretive depth. A group of excellent musicians who bring quality and diversity to this very interesting recording project with both ensemble and solo performances that are consistently highly appreciated." - Bruno Pollacci

"The music is obviously well put together and executed spotlessly by the sextet." - Adam Baruch
