  • Description

    Bulgarian composer and saxophonist Dimitar Liolev mixes rhythms and ornaments of Balkan folk and jazz, with an impressive contemporary jazz sound, to create an outstanding and unique brand of modern European jazz.

    Liolev's album 'Eastern Shadows' follows his debut album 'The Other Side' (BlueArt, 2012) and the second album 'Rhodopology' (Music Clinic Records, 2015). He presents original compositions performed by some of the best musicians from the Balkans, including trumpeter Martin Tashev and drummer Dimitar Semov. With the help of Italian bassist Massimiliano Rolff, the music is a constant flow of energy.

    Dimitar Liolev: alto saxophone

    Martin Tashev: trumpet, flugelhorn, vocals on track 9

    Massimiliano Rolff: double bass

    Dimitar Semov: drums

    "Alto saxist Dimitar Liolev leads a free flowing pianoless quartet through a collection of homegrown originals...A mix of creativity, adventure and darkly swinging shadows." - George Harris, JazzWeekly
