Dan Pugach and the Macedonian National Jazz Orchestra at the NOB
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 Festival 2026
by Nenad Georgievski
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 ...
Milcho Leviev: Letter To America
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
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
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
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
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
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 ...
