The Nikola Spasojevic Quartet creates musical conversations in which each
member of the ensemble presents their individuality and conviction
interpreted through the language of modern jazz. The choppy,
improv-sparking drums along with the driving bass hooks provide the
foundation for the group. The piano’s nudging chords give way to springing
counter melodies. And on top, the saxophone’s coaxingly soulful melodies lead into solos that break off in contrasting musical directions. The
band takes their music in unexpected directions, stretching out, resulting
in movement of expression and self-identity. The quintet was formed at
NYU with the goal of performing original compositions, reworkings of jazz standards and originals.
