Valts Pūce

Valts Pūce is a Latvian composer famous for his unique ability to combine the substance and stylistic nuances of academic, folk, and rock music, thus providing an opportunity for modern people living in highly urbanized environments to become acquainted with extraordinarily diverse and deeply human qualities.

Trigon

TRIGON is an ethno – jazz band from Moldova.

The leader of the group Anatol Ştefăneţ is known for his virtuoso viola skills, especially its Moldovan traditional version, the “bratsch”. His solos are featured on several other albums and projects, including the “Black Sea Orchestra” and the “Lăutari”.

Trigon released their first CD “Moldavian Wedding in Jazz” in France (SILEX) and immediately received the French music award “Grand Prix du Disc”. Their second album, “Oglinda” was released in Germany (Jaro).

During 1996-1999 the group toured Europe and the ex-USSR countries extensively always to a critical acclaim.

The latest incarnation of the band includes Anatol Ştefăneţ (alt), Dorel Burlacu (keyboards), Alexandru Arcus (sax) and Garri Tverdohleb (percussion).
“Trigon’s style encompasses elements of folk, jazz, rock and symphonic music. Brilliant improvisations and a keen understanding of musical forms characterize their jazz compositions. Trigon is undoubtedly a phenomenon in modern jazz music in its highest intellectual expression.” (L.Osipova, Vice-president of the Russian Composers Union)
