Hristo
Vitchev is a jazz guitarist and composer who just recently completed a tour of Korea with his quartet this past
October, and is now planning for an upcoming
10 day/cities tour of Japan. Aside from touring, Vitchev has a number of
musical endeavors in the works including a new fusion project with the Errol
Rackipov Group.
The
Errol Rackipov Group is led by virtuoso vibraphonist and master composer Errol
Rackipov (Errol is one of the first students that Gary Burton took under his
wing back in the days). This is a truly international group that showcases some
of the most exciting improvisers on the scene today.
On piano,
they have none other than Martin Bejerano (the pianist for Roy Haynes, Russell
Malone, Dave Holland, and many other legends of jazz). On sax, the great
reedman from Vienna, Austria - Lubomir Gospodinov. On drums, the masterful Costa
Rican drummer and phenomenal composer Rodolfo Zuniga. On bass is one of the
most in demand and up and coming bassists in Miami, FL, Mr. Josh Allen, and on guitar, Hristo Vitchev.
Their
debut album "Pictures from a Train Window" is literally being pressed
now and will be ready for an official release in the coming weeks.
This
record is an unique fusion of the lyricism of impressionistic chamber music
with the romanticism of Argentinian tango and the edge, excitement, and
exploratory spirit of modern jazz with the diverse sonic tapestry of the
Eastern European folklore traditions.
