Laskavé Slovo, the collaborative album by Yvetta Simonová, Jozef Kuchár, Jozef Krištof, Gustav Brom, and So Svojím Orchestrom, is a beautiful blend of jazz and traditional Slovakian music. The album features 12 tracks, each one showcasing the incredible talents of the musicians involved.

The album opens with the title track, "Laskavé Slovo," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Simonová's vocals are soulful and emotive, while the instrumentation is intricate and layered. The album continues with tracks like "Láska Je Všetko," "Čerešne," and "Keďže Si Ma Opustil," each one showcasing a different aspect of the musicians' abilities.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Cigánska Balada," a hauntingly beautiful song that features Krištof's accordion playing and Simonová's vocals at their most powerful. Another standout is "Košický Tanec," a lively instrumental piece that highlights the talents of the entire ensemble.
