Filip Bukrshliev - "Songs Won't Be Sung" [PMGJazz066]

Filip Bukrshliev. A name familiar to anyone that has ever had even a marginal glance at our catalog. From leading small group improvisations, to fronting several ensembles - most notably Fighting Windmills and Taxi Consilium, to his first unaccompanied album "Don’t Go Away Mad Because the Duke Is Not Coming Back" (featuring six cuts from Duke Ellington's repertoire) - there is not much he hasn't done. Well, apart from this - an unaccompanied album of originals. And in his record breaking 19th appearance on PMGJazz he delivers just that.

Compositions aside, what sets this record apart from his previous solo effort is the sonic presentation - a more immediate sound, and a primarily monodic phrasing give this record the intimacy that sorely lacks in many solo outings. This is not the mandatory modern jazz solo exhibition, with their obligatory extended techniques and/or virtuosic maneuvers. In fact it does very little to enhance the reputation of Bukrshliev as a instrumentalist. Not that his reputation needs enhancing at all - he is and has been for a while [...] well, we'll skip the hyperbole, you can fill in the blanks.

This record is about pure music. A perfectly imperfect emotional release. Even if you don't press play, it's out there in the aether - and you are feeling it. Enjoy!

"Lynchian in feel and epic in scope, the first eyeball-to-eyeball meeting of Filip Bukrshliev and Vladan Drobicki leaves little to be desired.
Drobicki's textural mastery on the trombone has been met by its most suitable partner yet in Bukrshliev's rawest performance since his unaccompanied debut "Don’t Go Away Mad Because the Duke Is Not Coming Back". Since then, Bukrshliev has habituated many-a small group improvisational meetings - becoming well comfortable with the inner workings of the format. Drobicki has been more selective - his well received duo with violinist/soundscapist Gligor Kondovski a rare foray.
Both confrontational and reflective, "Above Weather" shows two masters at work. We feel we are releasing a classic in our catalog, and a first collaboration of many to come. Enjoy!"

Репортажа за добра музика >>

"A few days ago, I reached out to Vladan Drobicki, a Macedonian trombonist who started the very interesting label PMG Jazz, focusing on musicians from his country. We occasionally correspond, and he sends me new music. The PMG catalog is now expanding to include musicians from the region, but what intrigues me most at the moment is Macedonian violinist Gligor Kondovski, whose name appears on several releases from the label. I’m currently most drawn to his duo album Inward, recorded with Drobicki, which has a bit of the Scandinavian atmospheric abstraction I tend to favor."

On listening, jazz, and the pressure of meaning

ДОСТАПНО СЕГА! // OUT NOW!

"Balkan Railway" is a free compilation featuring nine selections from albums we have released over the past two years. A diverse report card of our work.

A year ago, on the occasion of the publication of "Urgent" from our Budapest-based friends Cox/Ajtai/Gyárfás, we wrote:
"The train has left the station! The trans-Balkan free-jazz railroad is in operation." It signaled our desire for a more expansive artistic effort and collaboration. A manifest of what's to come in our next chapter.

The first results are in.

RELEASE ALERT: 'Mincminc', the debut album of the avant jazz trio TACHUBE, is now out and available to stream and download on Bandcamp:
invertedspectrumrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mincminc
pmgjazz.bandcamp.com/album/mincminc

"New, unexpected things are happening in the alternative music scenes around the world as many dislocated musicians collide with fellow artists in the novel contexts where they find themselves. The debut album ‘Mincminc’ by the avantgarde jazz trio Tachube is a product of such a collision, where Ilia Belorukov, an electroacoustic artist and saxophonist from Saint Petersburg and the founder of Intonema label, meets bass player Marko Čurčić and drummer Nemanja Tasić, two established jazz musicians based in Novi Sad, Serbia."

"Belorukov is known primarily as an experimental free improviser and noise artist, while Čurčić (The Howlite, Dragon's Fuel, Power Nap Trio, Echo Pointers) and Tasić (Čičini Čvorci, Petak u Kozmosu, Vukašin Ðelič Group) are from a free jazz and ambient jazz background, as well as psychedelic dub reggae (Dabiška, Dab Kajsije). This combination leads to an improvisational, atmospheric, yet burstling sax-bass-drums trio, where this classic trio setup is augmented with extended techniques on the saxophone, heavy pedal effects on the bass, and experiments on a minimized drumkit. The result is a highly avant-garde, fresh, and vibrant form of free ambient jazz, akin to the musical counterpart of an abstract expressionist painting saturated with bold, hallucinogenic colors."

The album's release will be celebrated with three concerts in Serbia:
▸ 09.01.2026, NOVI SAD - Crna kuća (with Ivan Čkonjević & Igor Stangliczky)
facebook.com/events/886984093857760/
▸ 16.01.2026, BELGRADE - Kvaka (with Crno Dete)

▸ 22.01.2026, SUBOTICA - JMS club

This release is the third collaboration between Inverted Spectrum Records and PMGJazz.

"Kápolnásnyék" by Sürgős Quartet

Bandcamp >> pmgjazz.bandcamp.com/album/ka-polna-snye-k-2
__
Cox, Levin, Ando and Švejnar bring an intense East Coast of the US vibe to their live playing. With Levin’s often sudden switch to Beat style poetry, Cox’s use of double reeds and foil paper to create other worldly sounds on the trombone, Ando’s masterful bowing and throat-singing, and Švejnar’s ability to switch between intricate math rock beats to atmospheric swooshes on the cymbals, there are no limitations to where this band can go on a given night.

Recorded live on April 26, 2025 at Ben Utca in Kápolnásnyék,
Hungary, by Roland Heidrich

Change is urgently needed in this world. Sürgős is Hungarian for urgent. What we have been doing isn’t working. The Earth is pi**ed. There is a seething and justified anger at the global inequality that has infected the human condition. Improvisation, in one form or another, marks the only way forward. In short, we find ourselves living within a moment of urgency. The Sürgős Quartet paints upon this canvas.

Sixty one releases in, some might have thought that our ability to surprise has gone... Enter: "Sunday Connection" - a debut album, by an eclectic, but logical quartet from all corners of Macedonia.
It is definitely not a jump-scare type of surprise - in many ways (just as the group's initiator Gligor Kondovski) this record is understated. Throughout the compositions, quiet and introspective
moments have a way of giving in to rich tapestry-woven interplay. This is one that requires multiple listenings.
Rounding off the quartet - making their long overdue debuts on PMGJazz are Filip Metodiev (guitar) and Dario Cievski (drums) - and a warm welcome back to Andrea Mirčeska.
Have we got a Sunday for you... you are welcome!

Gligor Kondovski - violin
