Young singer Gerda Timrota spoke on Latvijas Radio's programme “Kultūras rondo” about her collaboration with Raimonds Pauls, which led to the concert programme “Tu nāc, tu ej”. She says jazz is the music of both her and the Maestro's youth, and that Pauls teaches her much both as a musician and as a person.
