  • They Say...

    Boban Markovic and his band are, quite simply, the best of the Balkan brass bands. They can negotiate hairpin turns in arrangements and a frantic pace, and give the listener a shock of adrenaline with their playing. As always, the playing is exemplary throughout, but one of the purposes of this disc is to introduce Markovic's son, 15-year-old Marko, who proves to be a trumpet sensation like his father. Not as polished, and not completely up to his speed, but still remarkable. The music itself is definitely a mixed bag, like the Latin "Sanja Samba," which offers an aerobic workout whose roots might be in Brazil but whose heart runs a marathon. There's even a venture in Bollywood with A.R. Rahman's "Mere Yaara Dildara," which ends up reflected through a Balkan prism. However, much of the material is homegrown, and quite splendid -- the trumpet dialogues between father and son are a standout, as is their unison work. Once again Markovic hits the jackpot and proves his quality.
