Bko: Djine Bora

Late Serbian keyboardist-composer Bora Rokovic has dropped into obscurity, but in his heyday he recorded with the likes of Stan Getz, Dusko Goykovic and arranged for the popular WDR Big Band. Known as an original stylist, Rokovic's music overflows with ideas and he had the chops to express them. "Ultra Native", a hidden gem, has been a collector’s item for good reason: this 1971 trio date includes great German bassist Peter Trunk, named one of the best German bassists in jazz by critics, on par with any of the best bassists in the US.

Green Hill Gypsy Swing (CD/DVD- Menart/2009)- album gitarističkog virtuoza Damira Kukuruzovića I njegovog benda. Ovaj album svojevrstan je homage glazbi Djanga Reinhardta i Stefana Grappellija, dvojca koji je obilježio europsku jazz glazbu sredinom 20-og stoljeća. Gypsy swing u doba kad je nastajao, a to su bile 30-te godine prošlog stoljeća, bio je jedini pravi europski odgovor na swing glazbu koja je dolazila iz Amerike. Damir Kukuruzović, inače vlasnik Siscia Jazz Cluba već dugi niz godina slovi kao jedan od najvjernijih sljedbenika legendarnog Djanga Reinhardta u ovoj regiji.

Pour ce deuxième album, BKO perpétue la rencontre, jusque là inédite, entre la musique des griots et celle des chasseurs. Ce nouveau projet, plus électrique, est l’aboutissement d’un travail élaboré durant les nombreuses tournées du quintet, en Europe, en Afrique et en Chine. Originalité, puissance, virtuosité avec pour ingrédients guitare des griots, luth des chasseurs, voix poignantes, entourés de maîtres percussionnistes. A noter la participation de Mathieu Boogaerts sur le titre Mon amour.
