paulcutlan I've never heard kaval played with chromatic bebop jazz vocab, including outside playing, but perfectly idiomatic folk ornamentation in the same player and track! Outstanding concept, arrangement and playing. Favorite track: Kopanitsa.

about

The David Dower Trio's 3rd Studio Album, recorded in Sofia, Bulgaria during the trio's 4th tour to the Balkan nation.

The album features a number of guest Bulgarian musicians, including Zhikvo Vasilev (Kaval), Vesela Morova (Vocals), and a Traditional Folklore singing group made up of Rayna Vasileva, Pirina Hristova and Gabriela Milanova.

A number of David's compositions on this album employ influences from traditional Bulgarian Folklore music; these include Bulgarian-style choral harmonies, multi-meter grooves, and use of the traditional Bulgarian Kaval. Each member of the trio bring their own unique sound to the album, with David's jazz/alt-pop/singer-songwriter influences, Matt Fisher's melodic drumkit approach, and the distorted-fuzz-bass of Luke Fowler, this mish-mash of influences creates a cohesive sound
