about
VASIL HADŽIMANOV BAND is a collective formed in 1997 in Belgrade, Serbia. The mastermind behind it is Vasil Hadžimanov - a Berklee scholar and a piano & keyboard player who fuses various aspects of Balkan folk music(s) and jazz fusion, with heavy emphasis on percussion and keyboard tapestries. The band's permanent line-up is comprised of variety of renowned Serbian musicans of younger generation: Vlada Samardzić on electric bass, Srđan Johnny Dunkić on drums, Bojan Ivković on various percussions as well as vocals and scat. Aside from a quartet core of the collective, there's a number of guest musicans with whom VASIL HADŽIMANOV BAND is collaborating frequently, such are Brankica Vasić, Teodosii Spasov, Antonio Kitanovski and Orhan Maslo. Often cited as a Balkan-focused variant of Joe Zawinul's music - such a tag is not untrue, but it's doing injustice the band's variety of styles and it's unique chemistry, which is developing it's own identification on the world's jazz fusion map: beside already mentioned Balkan music varieties and jazz fusion, the band is dabbing with electronics, swing, experimental musical forms, funk, soul, African music, rock, folk, country and improvisational & free jazz. Their music is highly recommended, especially their live performances. http://www.vhband.com/ Muzika VASIL HADŽIMANOV BAND-a definiše se kao prirodan sklad tradicije, korena, najvrednijeg muzičkog nasleđa, sa muzikom današnjice, bolje reći - sutrašnjice, onog što će nam ona tek p
