Blazin' Quartet
Blazin' Quartet
This young band takes regard of no musical borders and preconceptions. They dare to mix everything they like and feels good in order to take the listeners to a trip in their own world. The freedom and beauty of a market on which you can find everything from a turkish electronics shop up to an african groceries store.
The balkan background of Misho, Alex and Srdjan, and Michael's scandinavian, mix in with their mutual language of Jazz and their love for toying with gadgets to create sounds and soundscapes of electronic music. The absence of a piano or any chord instrument gives them the space and freedom to make music that relies on melody, rhythm and interplay and gives enough space to incorporate electronic sounds and loops.
Surprising audiences and competition juries BQ has won (just after it was formed) the Holland Casino Jazz&Pop Award and shortly after the Dutch Jazz Competition, playing at the North Sea Jazz Festival 2008 amongst great competition. BQ took part in the Young VIPs tour, a 10 concert tour in some of the best dutch venues. It has also since performed at festivals such as Jazz-A-Palooza, Novi Sad Jazz Festival and the North Sea Jazz Festival 2009 where the band presented it's debut album titled 'Finding A Way' - officially released in September 2009.
