Description
Sound in Time was recorded in January 2022 and it is a trans-cultural project full of fresh and modern musical concepts, flirting with the New York music scene, while also incorporating more Balkan melodic and rhythmic elements/structures.
Italian vibraphonist Nazareno Caputo, who last year was chosen as the artist’s “best debut album” by the New York Jazz Times, participates in the record.
Other internationally recognized musicians also participate in the album:
Brazilian drummer Matheus Jardim (collaborated with Raul de Souza et al.), double bassist Miha Koren (Johnatan Kreisberg et al.), and trumpeter Boris Majcen (Dave Weckl et al.).
“…The songs on this record are passionate and tell a complete story from front to back. Gatekeepers: pay attention to Blaž.” – Noah Preminger
“Blaz is a strong composer and player. His interesting fresh ideas are pushing the music forward.” – Joris Teepe
“…Keep an eye on this cat as he will deliver much more!” – Jure Pukl
“Blaž shows incredible devotion and love for this music and he is constantly creative. This album is a great debut from a musician that is not willing to sacrifice his sincere musical voice!” – Marko Churnchetz
“As players – and inherently fans of the music – we are always interested in searching for unique voices out there. Blaž Švagan is that refreshing identity that emerges once in a blue moon. After listening to Blaž’s record, Sound In Time, I was excited to hear his specific and unique articulation and the fire, fierceness, and energy in his sound. The songs on this record are passionate and tell a complete story from front to back. Gatekeepers: pay attention to Blaž.” – Noah Preminger
“Equipped with tradition, flirting with the future, and rooted in the moment are all ingredients that allow jazz and improvised music to evolve. Blaž demonstrates just that, adding a high level of musicianship, technique, and the full spectrum of emotional maturity to his playing. Keep an eye on this cat as he will deliver much more!” – Jure Pukl
