With their 'Rhodopa" project, modern jazz guitarist and composer clarinetist Liubomir Krastev create a beautiful sonic pairing of the extremely emotional and lyrical Bulgarian folklore and the multi-dimensional and deeply textured world of modern jazz harmony. Their self-titled debut album "Rhodopa" features exciting new arrangements of old Bulgarian folk melodies as well as some new originals by the guitarist.

C’rell. The double A-side is a mixture of minimal techno, jazz, and
electroacoustic treatments. Dee C’rell has become increasingly established
worldwide within electronic jazz related music, and The Paris Session – Live is
a unique view into the world of his current live performances.On the first track " Don’t
Ever Leave Myself I" features Dee C’rell using electronics, the piano, and
Rhodes in live performance. Embracing 4/4 rhythms, which Dee is intrinsically
connected to; he manipulates and treats audio and acoustic instrument with
subtle precision, using influences of jazz, electronica, and dance related
music making practices. Don’t Ever Leave Myself I is a welcome return to some
of the more progressive dance music elements of Dee C’rell’s music, whilst
capturing much of the composition methods that is found in Dee C’rell’s
previous music releases. Track 2 - " Letters
from Chicago" - Since
his iconic remix of Jocelyn Brown’s I like It Like That, under the name of Drum
Whispers, which was released within the Chicago house scene in the 1990’s, Dee
C’rell has maintained his love and admiration for the electronic music scene
from the city of Chicago. Fusing instruments and electronics within live
performance, Letters from Chicago pays homage to music that greatly inspired
Dee C’rell. Letters from Chicago is a combination of jazz, contemporary music,
electronics, and Chicago house. ~ music.www.deecrell.com
