INFORMATION
Blazin' Quartet was founded in 2008 by a group of young musicians: Alex Simu (tenor sax, clarinet), Michael Rórby (trombone), Mihail Ivanov (double bass), Srdjan Ivanovic (drums).
They share a passion for jazz without stylistic musical borders and preconceptions. Blazin Quartets music is melodic and has a rhythmic richness. The Quartet plays music that is complex, but will nevertheless appeal to every listener because it is powerful and energetic yet subtle. The compositions on 'Finding A Way' are inspired by Balkan music, the freedom of jazz and electronic music. It is a surprising and well constructed mix of styles that has won over many audiences.
Blazin' Quartet was awarded the ‘Holland Casino Jazz & Pop Award’ in 2008 and has won the ‘Dutch Jazz Competition - Best Group’ that same year.

PRESS REVIEWS
De band bouwt voort op uiteenlopende tradities, maar staat tegelijkertijd volop in het heden.
The band builds on different traditions, but they are simultaneously fully in the present.
'Het eigentijdse geluid en stijl van de composities komt mogelijk mede door de verschillende achtergronden van de bandleden.' - Angelique van Os.
'The contemporary sound and style of the compositions may exists by the different backgrounds of the band members.' - Angelique van Os.
De cd klinkt open en toegankelijk, maar is van een bedriegelijke eenvoud. Deze muzikanten weten je onmiddelijk op sleeptouw te nemen. Dit is een kwartet dat we zeker zullen volgen. Marc Van de Walle - Jazzmozaiek - dec. 2009 - jab/feb 2010.
"Een ander pluspunt van deze band is de Ivanov als begeleider een van de meest speelse bassisten is die ik gehoord heb." Ken Vos - Jazzism Herfst 2010
"An another plus of this band is the leader Ivanov as one of the most playful bass players that I've heard." Ken Vos - Jazzism Herfst 2010
