Current revision
Polish singer Basia (Barbara) Trzetrzelewska (pronounced: Basha Che-che-lev-ska), born September 30, 1954 , in Jaworzno, made a successful music career in jazz-pop crossover circles during the late 1980s and early 90s, particularly in the United Kingdom, United States, and Japan. She is noted for possessing a wide vocal range, approximately three octaves that span the contralto to soprano fachs, and her music is characteristically Brazilian influenced. Though she has two platinum albums to her credit and a faithful fan base, she dropped out of the industry in 1998. However, resurfacing in 2004 with her longtime collaborator and writing partner, Danny White (younger brother of jazz guitarist Peter White) and Mark Reilly, the trio reformed the British cocktail-pop group Matt Bianco as the original lineup, which was met with critical success.
According to a fan website, Basia and Danny White are working on a new album for release in 2006.
