Tout commence à Paris, la ville où nous vivons tous. Où on rencontre des personnes de la planète entière.

Paris a beau être la plus belle ville du monde, un étranger traînera toujours un bout d’ailleurs avec soi. Une
petite graine de nostalgie pour ses autres maisons. Pour ses mondes d’ailleurs.

C’est ainsi que Srdjan démarre son projet: Xénos, qui veut dire «étranger» en Grec. Un mélange de
jazz moderne, de mélodies traditionnelles des Balkans, et de toute autre chose qui se trouve sur le chemin.

"... don't expect any folklore, no cliché of unbridled fanfare. It is nuance and imagination that prevail here." - Yann Mens - La Croix

"Is beauty asleep? Or would it not be rather that it is in what one might call sleep that we must see, discover and love what makes beauty itself? Drummer Srdjan Ivanovic, leader of the Blazin' Quartet, has made his choice. The demonstration here is brilliant. "Sleeping Beauty" is a singular success. " - Jazz notes

Rue Des Balkans (Sleeping Beauty)

“… Groundbreaking… The subtle touches of color and texture in his charts reminiscent of Gil Evans and Maria Schneider. Like them, Nikolov is inspired by the stirring sonorities of French horn, tuba, and accordion. But he blends Balkan metrical and tonal elements into his mix, and they introduce their own exotic aura…among the most creative current large jazz ensembles in Europe.” – JazzTimes by Thomas Conrad

After a long pause Blazin’ Quartet is releasing a new album - support it by pre-ordering here: https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/blazin-quartet-la-mer-la-pierre-la-terre-l-oiseau

Srdjan’s odyssey begins in Sarajevo, from which in 1992, due to an unhealthy surrounding, he moves to a much happier (at the time) Athens, Greece. After many instruments, bands, bars, weddings, parties (and some awards and festivals also), graduating in the meantime from Conservatorium van Amsterdam and Utrecht, he’s moved his base to Paris, where next to a few other projects he’s leading BQ into a new era. An era of an album with a long (french) name: La mer, la terre, la pierre, l’oiseau

Release March 19th for fan presale and May 18th for digital and shops! 

Lineup:
Andreas Polyzogopoulos - trumpet
Christophe Panzani - tenor saxophone / bass clarinet / effects
Mihail Ivanov - double bass
Srdjan Ivanovic - drums, some synths and electronics

Also on the album: 
Federico Casagrande - guitar 
Marc Buronfosse - fender VI bass, double bass
Jovana Krstevska - voice
Timothée Robert - bass

From Downbeat: “The clever postmodern antics of the young Blazin’ Quartet were noteworthy; featuring Serbian limber drummer Srdjan Ivanovic, they twist and tweak conventions, as might be expected from a band whose new album is called Jalkan Bazz”
