ANDREA VICARI

‘Jazz Extempore’ is a group of european jazz musicians coming together to rehearse and perform in Croatia. Elvis Stanic, director of the Liburnia Jazz festival in Croatia invited Andrea Vicari, Rico de Jeer (Bass, Holland) and Hristo Yotsov (Drums, Bulgaria). Elvis plays guitar and some accordion and together they performed in Croatia (Opatjia, Zagreb and Liburnia jazz festival), Holland, England and Bulgaria. The project was funded by the Croatian government which enabled it to extend beyond Croatia and become an ongoing musical adventure. Now the band have made their first CD, “Round Trip” and are performing all over europe in the future.

The music of ‘Jazz Extempore’ draws on the cultures, folk music and compositions of all the band members. The use of accordion and acoustic guitar gives the music an earthy feel with some beautiful folk melodies. The music is accessible but still has depth and some outstanding playing.

Having previously written for big bands "Suburban Gorillas", "New Perspectives", "The Vortex Foundation Big Band" and a quintet, "Lunar Spell"; Andrea now takes on the challenge of the piano trio. The music is a combination of Andrea Vicari's "atmospheric and original" (TIME OUT) compositions, and her unique arrangements of classic jazz standards; including "Bewitched", "Fly Me to the Moon", and "Someday My Prince will Come".

The trio features brilliant virtuoso drummer Sebastian Rochford, an integral member of "Acoustic Ladyland" whose own group "Polar Bear" is making waves with their CD on Babel "Dim Lit". Sebastian recently won the BBC jazz award in the "Rising star" category.
