Bukrshliev/Mircheska Play Coltrane
for the Opening Ceremony of the 13th FFF

Filip Bukrshliev and Andrea Mirceska are emissaries of the New Macedonian wave of Jazz music, or at least that’s what they want to think. Both of them have received the Best Young Jazz Musician award given by the Skopje Jazz Festival. This is already a fact. The years are 2019 and 2021, you can check if you want. Between them, they have more than 30 record. Also: Fact. They are members, together or separately, of more eminent Macedonian jazz ensembles than you can count. They are members of ZAMP. Mircheska played at Bukrshliev’s graduation party. That is probably why he received a passing grade on the exam. The “Bukrshliev/Mircheska Play Coltrane” project is a musical-adventure-travelog performance in which, through the performance of John Coltrane’s music in an atypical duo formation of guitar and double bass, the audience will have an incredible opportunity to learn how John Coltrane went on a musical pilgrimage in 1961 Veles, how he practiced every day under the Gemidzii bridge, and how, before going back, he recorded an album at Radio Veles.
