Recording engineer: Dick Lucas Mixing and mastering: Alen Hadzi Stefanov and Dzijan Emin Final Mastering: Rainbow Studios, Oslo Produced by Enrico Blumer 1. The Skopje Connection The Skopje Connection is a unique trio, put together by the Italian producer Enrico Blumer, and featuring the new Italian rising star, Luca Aquino on trumpet, and two of Macedonia’s leading contemporary and jazz musicians, Dzijan Emin on French horn and melodeon, and Georgi Sareski on acoustic guitar. For this special project they are joined by one of the most renowned contemporary European musician, the Dutch cellist Ernst Reijseger. These four musicians come from very different cultural and musical backgrounds as they meet with kindred sensibility and musicianship. The highly emotional songs, sophisticated sound, fantastic interplay and dream like ambience, are just few of the characteristics that make the Skopje Connection a one-of-a-kind listening experience. A tranquil and yet powerful music that deeply resonates within the human soul. The first encounter of Aquino, Sareski and Emin was in 2009, in the city of Skopje, Macedonia, where they recorded their first album and discovered the sound of the Skopje Connection in a Turkish hammam from the XV century. This particular hammam boasts beautiful acoustics and an incredible natural reverb, which inspired surrealistic compositions and improvisations. The album, entitled “Amam”, was released later that year for Enrico Blumer Productions, and it was selected as one of the best albums of 2009 by the Italian web site italia.allaboutjazz.com. In the new album, the Skopje Connection has maintained the animated, story telling magic of their previous album, “amam” - conjuring up cinematic scenes in the imagination of the listeners mind - this time with the added touch of Ernst Reijseger on the cello providing an element of lush sophistication to the trio’s endearing compositions. The Skopje Connection fulfills the potential promised in “amam” - exhibiting both maturity and playfulness, restraint and mastery, making this album a compelling delight. 2. Biographies Ernst Reijseger, (born November 13, 1954, Bussum) is a Dutch cellist and composer. He specializes in jazz, improvised music, and contemporary classical music and often gives solo concerts. He has worked with Louis Sclavis, Derek Bailey, Han Bennink, Misha Mengelberg, Gerry Hemingway, Yo-Yo Ma, Albert Mangelsdorff,Franco D’Andrea, Joëlle Léandre, Georg Gräwe, Trilok Gurtu, and Mola Sylla, and has done several world music projects working with musicians from Sardinia, Turkey, Iran,Senegal, and Argentina, as well as the Netherlands based group Boi Akih. He has made numerous recordings, both as solo cellist and with other groups, and has been the subject of a documentary film.

De term ‘instant composing’ is gemunt door Mengelberg en staat voor een specifieke vorm van muzikaal denken en handelen op basis van improvisatie. In instant composing is improviseren een vorm van ter plekke componeren. Dit proces is mede bepalend voor de bijzondere positie van ICP in de eigentijdse muziek. De methode ICP werkt alleen als de musici meester zijn op hun instrument en met elkaar tot in hun diepste wezen verbonden zijn. De huidige bezetting speelt inmiddels bijna 25 jaar in dezelfde samenstelling. Om beurten stelt een van de musici een setlist samen voor aanvang van het concert. (Voorbeeld setlist (handschrift Han Bennink): zie hieronder) Voor de instant composing-methode draagt een aantal orkestleden stukken of thema’s aan, in notenschrift uitgewerkt: soms niet mee dan een paar akkoorden, soms in uitgebreide arrangementen en varianten daartussen, die– op het podium – bedacht en gespeeld worden.

Dear friends, I am very excited that the 24th annual New Directions Cello Festival (NDCF) will be held in Cologne, Germany this July 13-15, 2018. My long-held dream of holding New Directions outside of the United States is at last a reality! The NDCF has a history of moving around, which has helped us reach out to cellists and the interested public in many places. Over the years, the festival has been held in New York City, Boston, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Ithaca, NY and California. My co-director for this year’s festival is jazz cellist Gunther Tiedemann, who has been a guest artist at the festival twice (NDCF 2008 and 2016). He lives in Cologne and teaches at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz (HfMT). Over the past two years, Gunther has worked - and continues to work - incredibly hard for NDCF 2018, interfacing with school and city administrations, collaborating with partners, sponsors, and our guest artists. Good work, Gunther! It is a joy and great pleasure to be co-creating this amazing festival with you! This being our first festival in Europe, we wanted to feature mostly cellists and their groups from various European countries.

When asked to contribute something myself,2 I recalled the shattering double whammy of hearing, at the tender age of fourteen, György Ligeti’s Requiem in the record library of Manchester’s Royal Northern College of Music, and shortly afterward on the radio, Eric Dolphy’s alto saxophone (“So Long Eric” from Charles Mingus’s Town Hall Concert [1964]). One written out in meticulous micro-polyphonic detail, the other snatched from the air, as it were (though no less intricate in terms of its structure); one composed, the other improvised. Back in the mid-1970s when these two epiphanies turned my head inside out, the worlds of contemporary composition and free improvisation had already begun to gravitate toward each other, though I wasn’t aware of it at the time. Nowadays, to quote David Toop, “reasons for distinguishing between composition and improvisation are diminishing fast,”3 and there’s no finer example of that than the music of Earl Howard, particularly Clepton, commissioned by and recorded at that most venerable showcase for the latest editions of contemporary music (that, in case you’d forgotten, is what ECM stands for), the Donaueschingen Festival.
