opis: Editor's info: From the first note on this recording, Matija Dedic captivates with musicality and maturity as a pianist and composer. His treatment of jazz classics such as "Blue and Green" and "Maiden Voyage," as well as his rendition of Sting's "Fragile," are performed with calm and confidence while maintaining a beautiful touch on both the acoustic piano and Fender Rhodes. Son of the famous Croatian singer/songwriter and poet Arsen Dedic, and pop singer Gabi Novak, Matija is a star in his own right in the Eastern European jazz scene where he has won numerous awards over the last decade. Here, he's joined by the dynamic New York rhythm section of bassist Vincente Archer and drummer Kendrick Scott.
