high ladies and gentleman. the country is Slovenia (when this lp was out it was part of Yugoslavia, which is full of albums like this music). And the name means Sunny path if you were wondering. Good blog! Keep on doing what you're doing, because you are diggin' what you're doing! :)
ReplyDeleteWise words Vinilija.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and filling in some of the blanks.
excellent jazz-prog, thanks katonah.
ReplyDeleteBlimey Igor! This looks tasty.
ReplyDeletethanks katonah, too,
(and yes I was wondering about the 'solvenia' bit) :)
Thanks guys. This is interesting. Completely unknown to me. Does any one know any more about the musicians?
ReplyDeleteThe group Sončna Pot still occasionally get together, and a leader is reeds and keyboards player from Slovenia, Lado Jakša.
ReplyDeleteExtremely interesting person. He graduated in art history and hi is also respected art photographer. He often performs alone, in combination with reeds instruments, synthetic sounds and his photos. Such a combination of sound and image can be called Soundscapes. Here are examples from his public lectures.

Jakša also compose music for film and theater, which is an experimental music in the style of jazz.
He is very pleasant person with whom it is interesting to discuss and reminds me on Brian Eno and Jon Hassell.
It is a subjective impression.
Drummer Ratko Divjak is also from Slovenia. He played in rock bands during the seventies and eighties (Time, September, and others), but mostly played jazz with Boško Petrović, and many international groups. He is a permanent member of the Plesni Orkestar RTV Ljubljana (it's a big band).
He was also the drummer on Tone Jansa's Goa.
Very subtle drummer with incredible sense for time keeping.
You can see him playing here:

For a bit more than a decade I played with the illustrious Mr. Jaksa in Slovenia (at the Ljubljana Jazz Festival and Druga Godba Festival), in Italy, and in Dallas, where I live. He is an exceptionally creative soul and can also be heard on the CD by Svetlana Makarovic "Temna Noc", playing not only sax and clarinet, but piano and synthesizers.
