“The collaboration with Matija Cvek was premiered in Bjelovar in 2021 and was the first such collaboration with a talented author and soloist and new arrangements written just for Big Band Bjelovar. Matija recognized our effort and the artistic value of the project and suggested recording an album. Of course, one of the main motivating factors was the audience’s enthusiasm for the project, and we hope for a long series of successful collaborations.”
Big Band Bjelovar was founded in 1979, and since 2018 it has been operating under the leadership of the young composer, arranger, conductor and saxophonist Bruno Bišćan.
They took small steps by promoting jazz music in their surroundings, organizing concerts, the “Big Weekend” festival and workshops in Bjelovar, and their positive energy quickly spread and developed into something much bigger, more powerful and more creative. Through their activities, they want to introduce a new audience to the world of jazz music.
