Bojan Z Tetraband: Humus

Read "Humus" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

by Bruce Lindsay

Humus is the first album from the Bojan Z Tetraband and it's as intriguing as might be expected from such an original and inspired set of musicians. Led by keyboard player Bojan Zulfikarpasic--born in Belgrade in the former Yugoslavia and now resident in France--the band is tight, energetic and powerful despite the fact that the lineup only came together a few months before the April 2008 recording session. The album has been described by Z as “the most 'rock' album ...

Bojan Z.: Xenophonia

Read "Xenophonia" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Sono ormai molte le voci che indicano il pianista Bojan Zulfikarpasic (o, come è ormai universalmente conosciuto nella versione abbreviata e semplificata del nome, Bojan Z.) come uno dei talenti più interessanti sulla scena jazzistica internazionale, e ascoltando questo suo ultimo lavoro non è difficile capire il perchè.
