Description
The music of the Fairy Tale Trio is a unique mixture characterized by jazz, improvisation and folk music of the Balkan. It is the ancient Bulgarian folksong forming the basis of this music - an interplay between the sophisticated sound of the wooden kaval, the saxophone's expressivity as well as the rhythms of the big drum tupan.
Actually, the three musicians are influenced by very different musical styles. The basic idea for this project was the intention to connect the various styles and kinds of Bulgarian folk music - an experiment resulting in a profound interference of thoughts, eras and roots. For the audience this is a journey into an imaginary world of sounds.
Theodosii Spassov integrates the virtuosity of his playing the kaval, a Bulgarian wooden flute, into the indo-jazz-rock of a Trilok Gurtu. Together with the Russian saxophone player Anatoly Vapirov and the percussionist Stoyan Yankoulov, he celebrates a kind of music beyond all stylistic dogmas and clichés, far away from orthodox definitions of Bulgarian folk music.
