about

Vivacious, dark, humorous, and featuring a Bulgarian choir, “There Are No Stars” is the newest output from Australian pianist David Dower and his trio.

Recorded in Bulgaria on the David Dower Trio’s 3rd tour there in as many years, Dower has rounded up some of the Balkan nation’s best and brightest on this session. The tracks provide an exciting fusion of East and West, seen through the kaleidoscope of Dower's melodic compositions. This is heard most overtly in “Leto Ide”, a loving nod to the trio's fascination with Bulgarian traditional music.

Guests include Zhivko Vasilev on the Bulgarian Kaval, a traditional flute-style wind instrument. Vesela Morova, a Berklee-trained jazz vocalist, now based in Bulgaria’s capital Sofia. And the Bulgarian choir, led by leading traditional folklore singer Rayna Vasileva.

The album deftly juxtaposes nostalgia, dark edges and honesty, with a playfulness that consistently defines the trio’s sound. Everything is tied together with singable melodies, bold arrangements, and Dower’s ever-quirky sense of humour.
