Philadelphia jazz singer Lou Lanza had an excellent point when he asserted that jazz improvisers who ignore rock and R&B songs "are cutting themselves off from a lot of worthwhile material." Lanza wasn't suggesting that jazz artists should totally give up the Tin Pan Alley standards they've been performing all these years – actually, he's done plenty of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin gems himself – but he was saying that if you're going to use popular songs as vehicles for jazz expression, there is no reason not to interpret Sting, Billy Joel or Prince along with Harry Warren and George Gershwin.

Heritages is another personal compilation of recordings by Balázs Fülei. All the pieces on the record are related in some way to folk music. The composers were touched by musical heritage, and from this soil there sprang new works. Thus, in their notes, the past and the present are joined together, the music of the community is linked to the expression of the individual artist.
