  • Description

    The second album from the Jazz ExTempore Orchestra - the group was initially formed as a cultural exchange between Croatia and other European countries. It features Andrea Vicari (on piano) from the UK, Elvis Staniç (on guitars and accordion) from Croatia, Rico de Jeer (on bass) from Holland/Indonesia and Hristo Yotsov (on drums) from Bulgaria.

    The album brings together the jazz tradition with Eastern folk elements, in a contemporary style. There are originals compositions from all members of the group as well as two arrangements of traditional folk tunes from Croatia and Azerbaijan. "Sari Gelin" features vocal talent Median Mektiva who sings this Azeri folk melody with all the traditional inflections and embellishments so common in Eastern music.



    Personnel: Elvis Stanic (guitars, harmonica, accordeon, mandolin, lapsteel guitar, keys), Andrea Vicari (piano, wurlitzer, vocals), Rico de Jeer (bass), Hristo Yotsov (drums), Medina Mektiva (voice, violin on "Sari Gelin")
