Is
the Balkans the next Horizon to be explored by the Worlds first?
Ethnic Music structure, that kept the Hopes, and dreams of the Black
People of America a live? The events on this CD prove that not
only is it possible, it is happening.
Though the plurality of
Jazz Harmony, and the spirit that propelled all the grate pioneers
of Jazz, the need to push the envelope on notch higher, for the
realization of that unheard sound, new musical
phrase, rhythm, the opened minded approach, the respect to the
art of Music.
This are the same values that we keep close to
the heart, thus the ground, for the perfect fusion, it seems to have
being set by the Cosmos.
The cross roads of the Balkans, the
way that Jazz greatness has touch our Soul, when at the same time we
project the intricacy of our perspective, It is done with respect,
and clear conscious.
Always keeping in mind the dexterity
and color of a Big Band he remains unhappy with the sound of a Jazz
quartet and he looks in to the harmony to stretch the limits, after
some time he uses three instruments on the melody line, Saxophone,
Trumpet, and Vibraphone, a combination which has is been tried
before, but not quit this way.
The Vibes, take the upper
structure, Trumpet reaches for notes, a balladeer would stretch for
In his solos, the Sax, remains meaty, and warm thus link in the
rhythm section which in turn moves in the standard rhythmic form
with a unique Harmonic horizon.
The end resold is a melody
that constantly moves and develops in to a dream like State filled
with pictures, emotions and color, Solo sections kept to the
absolute necessary, bringing the composition, to the front
line.
The compositions unravel a Multi rhythmical carpet
weaved in Latin & Swing, rhythm that moves from ballad to
Medium, to brisk tempo. A string quartet is also employed
.
This is where The Balkans meet N.Y. and L.A.,
it is an effortless listening, and pleasant, one that is
closely related to flipping through a picture album, rather then
listening to a CD.
