NEDERLANDS

Blazin’ Quartet is de groepsnaam van vier gelijkgestemde Europese muzikanten, die elkaar vinden in Amsterdam en meteen flink uitpakken met een intrigerende mix van verschillende plaatsen en tijden. Ze mengen jazz met elektronica, Balkanritmes en serene Zweedse klanken, zonder rekening te houden met muzikale grenzen en vooroordelen.
Binnen enkele maanden winnen ze de Holland Casino Jazz & Pop Award en de Dutch Jazz Competition tijdens North Sea Jazz. Bassist Mihail Ivanov wordt daar tevens onderscheiden als Beste Solist. Vanuit Downbeat magazine: “they twist and tweak conventions, as might be expected from a band whose new album is called Jalkan Bazz”
