GD 330 Theodosii SPASSOV PERSONIFICATION Ethno Jazz and Bulgarian National Radio Big Band CD

Works for kaval
Issued: 2009
Style: Ethno-Jazz
Company: Gega New GD 330

Theodosii Spassov, “the best kaval on the planet”, presents yet another original programme (so far Gega New has released five of his albums). In this CD the pieces were recorded together with the Big Band of the Bulgarian National Radio. Against the background of the orchestra sound, the release also includes two works for piano and kaval.
Theodosii Spassov is the first Bulgarian musician who successfully synthesizes Bulgarian folk music with other genres, mostly jazz. His first attempts were in his student years, and his project with Milcho Leviev (1990) leads him to the world stage.
