Jazz on 3 - Bojan Z, Seb Rochford and Ruth Goller Recorded Live at The Vortex

Jez Nelson presents a gig recorded in July 2008 at London's Vortex jazz club, featuring noted Serbian pianist Bojan Z, with Ruth Goller on bass and Seb Rochford on drums. Operating both acoustic and electric pianos, Bojan Z combines florid runs and futuristic reverberations to complement Rochford's polyrhythms. Rochford is the drummer for Polar Bear, Acoustic Ladyland and The Basquiat Strings, and has had run of successful album releases, while Bojan Z was named European Jazz Artist of the Year in 2005.
