DEVET

“Devet” (meaning “Nine”) . The duo was founded as a project of two musicians from Eastern Europe – Lubomir Gospodinov (Bugarian)and Nikola Stanosevic ( Serbian), both with extensive experience in classical, chamber and other types of music. Their aim is to experiment and combine jazz modus with techniques from traditional folklore in search of a novel expressive language. Duo “Devet”’s unique interpretive style, made up of wide range of motifs blended in artful jazz performance, brings about inimitable atmosphere charged with the lightful energy of virtuoso saxophone and the playful dynamics of the lyrical piano.
