Carsten Pieper Haha, I now AM the proud owner of my second digital copy of this album of which I already owned the HD version but I couldn't resist Mr MoonJune's kind offer with the full digital discography ;-)
So, of you dig what Gil and Miles did with a peculiar kind of big band and Spanish influences on Sketches of Spain all those years ago, you should check on this project doing something similar with their Balkan roots! Favorite track: Across The Threshold.

Peter Jones If you're going to assert presence as an ensemble, showing talent for arrangement, production and performance, the opener here is a perfect example. Deep, creative and engaging jazz. What a drum solo!! What flute playing!! And then the rest of the album just keeps the whole thing going at the same level, taking its own direction and pace with each piece. Wonderful! (And get that Balkan Jazz Funk in Anonymous!)

It'd be nice to get the other Undectet release onto MoonJune :). Favorite track: L'Etranger.

about

The Nikolov-Ivanovic Undectet feat. Magic Malik is a large en- semble with an eclectic instrumentation. This eleven-piece band led by pianist and arranger Vladimir Nikolov and drummer Srdjan Ivanovic fuses tradition and out-of-the-box thinking to produce sophisticated Balkan influenced music that challenges the lis- tener on an emotional and intellectual level.

Featuring some of the best inter-generation musicians from Ser- bia and France the band is presenting their new album Frame and Curiosity. They were joined on the album by the flutist Malik Mezzadri, known as Magic Malik and upon realising the musical fit of Malik’s playing and sound with the Undectet, he became an important factor in the new album’s sound.

"Groundbreaking...subtle touches of color and texture in his charts reminiscent of Gil Evans and Maria Schneider. Like them, Nikolov is inspired by the stirring sonorities of French horn, tuba, and accordion. But he blends Balkan metrical and tonal elements into his mix, and they introduce their own exotic aura. This project should claim a place among the most creative current large jazz ensembles in Europe.” - JAZZ TIMES (USA)

"...a pan-European group of improvising musicians in 10 rhythmically complex, harmonically evocative compo- sitions, all impeccably arranged. In these, they might reference Balkan tunes, rock, hip-hop, classical music or traditional jazz – without settling on any one thing." - DOWNBEAT (USA)

"Beautifully balanced pieces and adventurous arrangements bring this richly varied music that brings the listener to a highly elevated state." - JAZZFLITS (Netherlands)
