Nikolov-Ivanovic Undectet feat. Magic Malik
Frame and Curiosity
Review by Gary Hill
This is quite an intriguing set. Overall it lands under fusion, but it often shifts more toward the pure jazz side. Still, we almost always put fusion under progressive rock. There is a lot of world music here. Accordion is a frequent instrument used on this set. That's one of two instruments (bagpipes being the other) I generally don't like. It works here. There is only one tune on the disc that doesn't really appeal to me, and that's because of the vocals. If I can like music with accordion, that says a lot.
