Nach der Furore um das Album mit dem Odron Ritual Orchestra in 2019 jetzt die Fußnote in den Jazzalben von Bandcamp, die Pandemie kam dazwischen, es folgte der Ukraine-Krieg, die Wirtschaftskrise, die Unsicherheit – was bleibt von dem, was in die Blutbahnen ging in 2019 fünf Jahre später, wenn dir rundum Freunde abhanden kommen – politisch gesellschaftlich mental, oder als Verstorbene – [Everyone Who Is Gone Is Already Here] – das Trio Svetlost kommt aus Skopje, der Hauptstadt Nord-Mazedoniens – sie bringen den Erfolg der ersten Aufnahmen mit, ihre gesammelten Erfahrungen, das ist, was sie auszeichnet mit Ninoslav Spirovski am Saxophon, Deni Omeragić an der Gitarre und Kristijan Novkovski am Schlagzeug: die Musik schäumt und treibt und groovt – auch auf dem neuen Album – da alles, was war, erscheint, als wäre es gerade eben erst geschehen – und bleibt bestehen im Moment, an den es kaum Erinnerungen gibt – so schnell geht es – umso mehr der Rückblick: auf die Historie, auf die Geschichten. Ein fulminantes Trio setzt an der Stelle fort, von wo aus es 2019 in Großformation Unvergessliches schuf. Stilistisch bewegt sich ihre Musik im Rahmen elektroakustischen Prog-Rocks und Free- Funk- und Punkjazzes, sie lassen John Coltranes A Love Supreme ebenso durchklingen wie die kraftvollen Beats und Grooves aus London, hervorgebracht in Skopje vom Label PMGJazz.

Svetlost – Everything Was as It Had Been a Minute Ago

After the furor surrounding the album with the Odron Ritual Orchestra in 2019, now the footnote in the jazz albums of Bandcamp, the pandemic came in between, followed by the Ukraine war, the economic crisis, the uncertainty – what remains of what went into the bloodstream in 2019 five years later, when you lose friends all around – politically socially mentally, or as deceased – [Everyone Who Is Gone Is Already Here] – the trio Svetlost comes from Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia – they bring the success of their first recordings, their accumulated experience, that’s what sets them apart with Ninoslav Spirovski on saxophone, Deni Omeragić on guitar and Kristijan Novkovski on drums: the music forces and drives and grooves – also on the new album – as everything was as it had been a minute ago – and persists in the moment, of which there are hardly any memories – it goes that fast – all the more the retrospective: on the history, on the stories. A brilliant trio picks up where it left off in 2019, creating something unforgettable in a large formation. Stylistically, their music moves within the framework of electro-acoustic prog rock and free jazz, they let John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme resonate just as much as the powerful beats and grooves from London, produced in Skopje by PMGJazz.
