Vasil Hadžimanov Band

Band,
Jazz, Folk and World

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. 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. Band members: Vasil Hadžimanov-piano,keyboards Branko Trijić- guitar Miroslav Tovirac- bass Predrag Milutinović - drums Bojan Ivković- percussion, scat vocal
