Damjan Krajacic - Baclave (2020)

Part afro-cuban, part jazz, part classical – baCLAVE is all real – grooving deeply, speaking strongly, with immense energy and profound sophistication. It has very much to do with the Cuban clave as it does with the delicious Balkan baclava – a musical experience with no boundaries.

Led by Croatian-born flutist Damjan Krajacic, the band is a true tour de force, featuring some of the most prolific jazz and latin-jazz musicians in the world. Alongside Krajacic, the group is complemented by the core of Cuban drummer Jimmy Branly, and, depending on Europe vs US tours, pianists Matija Dedic or Otmaro Ruiz, bassist Goran Delac or Ahmet Sezin Turkmenoglu, and trumpet player Leider Chapotin.
