Kako je pao prvi novembarski sneg u našem Beogradu, nakon promocije aktuelnog albuma novosadskog sastava Rok Apoteka, naziva “Drugačiji od drugih”, put me je naveo do “Zappa Baze”, gde su devojke iz sastava Jenner, zajedno sa svojim gostima uživo promovisale svoji drugi po redu full-length album “Prove Them Wrong”, objavljen krajem januara ove 2024-e.

Ova ekipa predvođena glavnim autorom, klavijaturistom Dejanom Ilijićem tokom protkle decenije uradila je zaista puno, a njihova karijera dostigla i i internacionalnu težinu.

(Musical Eschatology) 2024.
CD/Digital
Experimental – GERMANY/USA
Saxophonist Danny Kamins is a frequent guest of my critical reviews of his musical work and activities that encompass a wider range of musical advances that experiment with jazz and other closely related forms. His albums, as well as his creations, are rich in music and exploratory research, and in his own way, he examines the endless possibilities of creative challenge, which occupy a certain author’s personality.

(Šareni Dućan/Blind Dog Records) 2024.
LP
Rock – SLOVENIA
Zahvaljujući ljubaznosti Ilije Jovanovića, etabliranog managera tokom godina više Ex-Yu sastava i izvođača, takođe i promotera, nedavno sam dobio vinilno izdanje, zapravo reizdanje, drugog po redu albuma koparskog sastava Boomerang, naziva “Na zapadu ništa novo”. Izdavač ovog LP-a je zagrebački “Šareni Dućan”/”Blind Dog Records”, a ovo izdanje, ovaj LP ponovo nam skreće pažnju na delovanje ovog benda, ili je bolje reći čitave jedne ekipe muzičara/profesionalaca iz primorskog dela Slovenije, koja je tokom godina puno toga uradila i radila na polju rock kulture i granjanju tamošnje scene, a razlog što se o njima manje zna u ostatku nekadašnje zajedničke teritorije, je “rasplinutost” članova kroz više sastava, praćenje poznatih i manje poznatih izvođača koji bi gostovali u Sloveniji, i nedostatak promotivnih aktivnosti, verovatno u ne maloj meri nažalost i opravdan, u većim gradovima kao što su Beograd ili Zagreb. Ovim naravno ne umanjujem značaj ni drugih Ex-Yu centara, ali eto ta “prokleta promocija” nije samo danas problem, i uostalom to je tema kojoj je potreban duži analitički osvrt, kada govorimo i o današnjim muzičkim dešavanjima , kao i scene koja je postojala nekad.

Today’s modern jazz largely incorporates elements from fusion, as well as newer electro tendencies. Gabe Preston & GPS is exactly one such band that weaves its seen elements in an urban way.

A songwriter from Naples is one of those musicians who directly communicate with emotions and his way of vocalizing is able to explain this in a relevant way.

LES MECANOS – “Usures”
(L-EMA/InQuie Distribution/VeevCom) 2024.
CD/Digital
World music – FRANCE
Today, Les Mecanos represents an unusual phenomenon and formation-conceptual group, which builds its entire musical story on the postulates of an older tradition. The team from Saint Etienne is made up of musicians, actually singers, who perform their compositions with the help of percussion, and it is a kind of acapella group, that combines several expressive idioms through its expression.
