Chick Corea @ Festivalna dvorana Lent, Maribor (Slovenia), 21/11/2012
Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea, legendary jazz pianist, keyboardist, and composer, was performing on my birthday in European Culture Capital 2012, Maribor, with his latest trio. Besides Chick Corea, this trio includes the bassist Christian McBride (Sting, Pat Metheny, McCoy Tyner), "one of the most outstanding and celebrated musicians of his generation", and "drummer extraordinaire" Brian Blade (Herbie Hancock, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and
longstanding member of the Wayne Shorter Quartet). Hour and a half of jazz par excellence!

Not my first time at this very lovely jazz festival in Koprivnica, Croatia, my birth town and the town in which I’ve spend my last few years before moving to Slovenia, but the first time as their festivals official photographer :)
Exhibition opens as accompanying programme of the festival on 9th June 2017 in Maribor, Slovenia
The second edition of the festival organised by Glas podzemlja and MKC Maribor started last Friday, and will continue this Friday with two concerts (Urška Supej kvartet + OrGanic FunkaDelic), jam session and opening of two new exhibitions as part of their accompanying programme!
Visiting my old town, meeting old and new friends and checking out new and smooth jazz festival (hot summer nights, cold beer and cool jazz!) - what more can one ask for? :)

The Pyramids started in the 1970s in Ohio and self released tree records, disbanded in the 1977, only to be resurrected 30 years later - their "massive Afro-centric drumming meets ecstatic group improvisations" caught attention of the famous DJ Gilles Peterson and the rest is history!

Latin sounds mixed with electronics and rap is what Dafnis Prietos Proverb Trio is all about - it really is a "afro-cuban jazz for the new millennium", as the PR announcement of the concert said.
