WOGRAM,NILS/ZULFIKARPASIC,BOJAN - Housewarming (CD)

Nils Wogram counts as one of the most important jazz musicians in europe. He appears on many important festivals and tours worldwide with his own bands. Nils Wogram`s music is highly rooted in the jazz tradition. Nevertheless he tries to find new ways in expanding this language by using chordal, formal, meldodic and rhythmic material originally coming from other musical genres than jazz. Nils is a big fan of real bands with a unique ensemble sound. Most of his ensembles exist since a long time (e.g. Root 70 since 11 years). He believes that the best music in history was played by working bands. In that sense Duke Ellington and Miles Davis are his role models as a band leader. Bojan Zulfikarpasic is a serbian jazz pianist, who live in France. Nils and Bojan met for the first time at the french/german festival Jazz D'Or in 2012. What started as a loose project developed into a long term cooperation. Both musicians contribute their original compositions to this duo. A mix of jazz roots stuff, influences from the balkan, elements from rock/pop and contemporary classical music. Music with a strong rhythmic sense and full of atmosphere.
