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.
