Dan Pugach and the Macedonian National Jazz Orchestra at the NOB

Read "Dan Pugach and the Macedonian National Jazz Orchestra at the NOB" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

Dan Pugach and the Macedonian National Jazz Orchestra NOB Skopje, Macedonia  October 7, 2026   Big-band jazz thrives on a productive contradiction. Its arrangements demand discipline, coordination, and a collective sense of direction, yet the music comes alive when individual musicians find room to assert their personalities within that carefully constructed framework. ...

Punkt FestivalTeateret/KunstsiloKristiansand, Norway September 3-5, 2026   Kristiansand does not announce itself the way a festival city usually does. The southern Norwegian port sits low along a coastline of pale granite and pine, its old town a grid of white wooden houses running down to Fiskebrygga, a fishing-harbor district where ...

Read "Letter To America" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

Milcho Leviev's Letter to America (reissued on vinyl from his final 2015 solo piano studio recording, on Perfect Records, originally titled Quiet March) distills a lifetime of defiance, cinematic grandeur, and cross-cultural mastery into its rawest, most intimate essence. Comprising a selection of movie soundtrack themes written over the span of 40 years, the album captures the ...

Petr Studený: Listening as a Creative Act

Read "Petr Studený: Listening as a Creative Act" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

For Petr Studený, music has never been a passive background hum. Since 1979, he has operated under the self-assigned title of “active listener"--a designation that treats the intake of sound as a foundational creative act. Based in Prague, a city whose “magical" atmosphere he credits as a silent collaborator, Studený has spent decades navigating the intersections of ...

Peggy Lee, Julien Wilson, Theo Carbo, Dylan van der Schyff: Waiting Music

Read "Waiting Music" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

Improvised music operates through a productive tension: collective intuition on one side, and the constant risk of collapse into formlessness on the other. When a group sustains that balance without resolving it into comfort, the results tend to resist easy classification. Waiting Music, the second release by the Australo-Canadian quartet Open Thread, belongs firmly in that space--an album ...

Antonio Forcione & Cenk Erdogan: Storytellers

Read "Storytellers" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

On Storytellers, the duet album by guitarists Antonio Forcione and Cenk Erdoğan each song is delivered personally to the listener, like a letter. Some albums do not arrive loudly. They sit beside you, quietly, and start talking. This duet feels exactly like that--intimate and conversational, as if you are being invited into a dialogue that began long ...

Antonio Forcione and Cenk Erdoğan: A Masterclass in Musical Storytelling

Read "Antonio Forcione and Cenk Erdoğan: A Masterclass in Musical Storytelling" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

In the world of contemporary string music, there are collaborations born of convenience, and then there are those born of destiny. The union of Italian acoustic virtuoso Antonio Forcione and Turkish fretless master Cenk Erdogan  belongs firmly to the latter. Their debut duo album, Storytellers (Jazz Plus, 2025), is not merely a collection of compositions; it ...

Julius Gawlik: It's All in Your Head

Read "It's All in Your Head" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

When jazz musicians talk about composition, they often mean something closer to architecture--blueprints that guide but do not dictate. Julius Gawlik's debut album takes this idea seriously, treating written material as a starting point rather than a destination. The Berlin-based saxophonist and clarinetist has assembled a quartet that thrives on incompleteness, where sketches become conversations and ...
