Isolde Records : Passion for music 

Isolde Records is a young record company from the Netherlands whom in their short existence evolved to a label with it’s own signature. Mainly focussing on jazz, soul, blues, fusion and acid-jazz, but Isolde has always an open ear for all ‘good sounding/ composed ’ music.

With artists like Tristan, Yasam Hancilar band, KASPER, Writersday, Big Mike, On Impulse, Pimpy Panda a.o., they have proven their good taste in music. 

Founded by two full time musicians, Coen Molenaar and Frans Vollink in 2013. 
Coen is working as a musician/ composer/ teacher/ producer and is touring around the globe with the legendary Jan Akkerman. Frans runs his own studio, and plays/ played with Dutch pianist Jasper van ’t Hof. Together they are the core members of acid-jazz group Tristan and On Impulse. In their own bands they have featured a lot of international instrumentalists like Randy Brecker, Marc Guillermont , Nigel Hitchcock, Jamal Thomas to name a few.
U.S. soulsinger Heston has been a guest on several albums over the last couple of years and vice-versa. Same goes for jazz-vocalist Deborah J. Carter.

In 2013 Isolde Records started out as a record label, at first to support their own bands. 
The first release was an album entitled ‘Full Power’ by Tristan, which turned out to be quite a success. In the UK soul charts the album reached number one and brought Tristan to many festivals and venues throughout Europe. 
Partnerships are there with two Japanese record labels (Sweet Soul Records/ AMSA Records), German label ‘Mocher Music’ and London based Expansion Records. 

With a catalogue covering over 20 bands and artists, Isolde Records turns out to be quite a success. To cover all various fields in this business like TV& Radio promotion, press, distribution, PR, CD printing, booking etc., they decided to team up with a nice couple of music-industry professionals.

With their new album Seven Stamps, the Bodurov Trio continue delving into Bulgarian folklore and further narrowing their search to the intrinsic variations of the very popular rhythm in 7. 

Different regions have their own interpretation and names of it such as Rychenica, Chetvorno, Elenino Horo, etc. In combination with other measures, the rhythm in seven, serves as a basis for other so called additive measures, which provide countless possibilities for interpretation. 

The trio will be also joined by the internationally acclaimed Theodosii Spassov (kaval), who is one of the pioneers in connecting Bulgarian Folklore with the jazz tradition, as well as a great inspiration for many musicians.

Bodurov Trio, led by the Bulgarian pianist and composer Dimitar Bodurov, has been in demand since September 2001.

In November 2003, the band released their debut album ‘Melatonic’ ACR 9817, for the Norwegian label Acoustic Records, with exclusively own compositions, about which John Taylor commented: ‘A marvelous debut! ’. Their  CD ‘Stamps from Bulgaria 2008’  was included in Volkskrant (NL) selection for top 10 CD albums from the Netherlands for 2008. The bands latest album Seven Stamps will be released in January 2013 by Challenge Records and will be featuring the celebrated Bulgarian kaval player Theodosii Spassov.  

Bodurov’s fascination with Bulgarian folklore evolved in a unique and distinctive style, which is embodied in ‘The Resumption Suite’ 2004, a multi-partial piece for piano, bass, drums and samples, based on Bulgarian rhythms; then followed by the band’s successful project, ‘Stamps from Bulgaria’ – series of compositions based on traditional Bulgarian folk songs and dances.

THE TRIO has been touring in Benelux, Germany, Austria and Bulgaria.
