专辑简介

Underground Ensemble is a unity of excellent instrumentalists and authors: German drummer Dejan Terzic, American saxophonist Chris Speed, German guitarist Frank Möbus and American double-bass player Mark Helias. Project Underground is a collection of traditional songs from Balkans arranged in an exciting manner by Dejan Terzic. The album also contains several compositions by Terzic and one composition by Frank Möbus. As opposed to most trends popular in the last decades when talking about music tradition from Balkans, Underground is a project that stands out and represents an utmost achievement of the kind. What makes Underground exceptional is the absence of clichés and stereotypes when interpreting Balkans musical tradition. Album radiates freshness, utter co-understanding of the musicians, and inspiring band performance and sophisticating solos which makes the band and the album a unique phenomenon on the European music scene. "Beautiful music." (Jazzthetik, Germany, March 2007)
