News: Blazin' Quartet Video in the Works

In a few weeks time the Blazin' Quartet will be recording a video to promote its upcoming release with Challenge Records - "Jalkan Bazz".

Jalkan Bazz was recorded in spring of 2011, our concept for this recording was to fuse the cultural aspects of our personal histories with fresh new approaches to Jazz and improvised music. In collaboration with Rambo Amadeus, the result has raised eyebrows and drawn the attention of the serbian and croatian media, where it was released last year.

The European release is scheduled for April 2012 and will feature an NL tour.
