Srdjan Ivanovic

Drummer/composer Srdjan Ivanovic (1983) chose sticks, drums and cymbals as his main weapon in his quest to liberate energies through musical encounters. He blends melodic modern-jazz with the musical heritage of the Balkans and adds to that anything that might find itself on the way, including electronic sounds, samples and, why not, singers. “His subtle, fluent playing and organically blended compositions will take you on a sacred journey” (Jazz News - France). In his latest album with Blazin’ Quartet “La mer, la terre, la terre, l’oiseau” he is surrounded by an exceptionally talented, all european band featuring saxophonist Christophe Panzani, trumpet player Andreas Polyzogopoulos, bassist Mihail Ivanov as well as guitarist Federico Casagrande. “The long name of the album says it clearly - nature will speak, whisper its secrets that only the spirit can receive and that the musician, directing air vibrations will know how to communicate.” (Les InRocks). His latest project - Xénos is a fresh band consisting of saxophonist Robby Marshall, guitarist Hugo Corbin and bassist Timothée Robert as well as guest singers.
