A gripping voice opens the new album of the Bodurov Trio: the title track Senkya Padna contains a sample of an elderly woman singing an archaic traditional folklore song, which sets a dark tone. It forms the basis of the dynamic interplay of piano, double bass and drums that is characteristic of the Bodurov Trio. The jazz trio is strongly influenced by folk music, as well as classical composition. Special guest for this concert is Miroslav Petkov, principal trumpet player of the Concertgebouworkest.
Bulgarian-born, Amsterdam-based jazz pianist Dimitar Bodurov remains fascinated by the traditional songs and melodies of his native country, which he incorporates in his compositions. Still, his trio sounds unmistakably contemporary, with tight interactions and lively rhythmic structures. The Bodurov Trio has released six albums and has collaborated with illustrious names such as the celebrated Bulgarian kaval player Theodosii Spassov, Norwegian saxophonist Trygve Seim, and Israeli trumpeter Itamar Borochov.
