GOJKOVIC DISCOGRAPHY
It
was a winter 1983 when 5 exceptional musicians guttered in Sarajevo on
the eve of the Winter Olympic Games. The reason was recording session
that was a part of the Olympic Game's cultural happenings. Dusko was
overdubbing 5 trumpets and his idea was to call the session "5 Horns
& Rhythm". They recorded 13 tracks and that was to long for one
record so it had to be split on two LPs. They came out under the
titles "Blues In The Gutter" and "Snap Shot" but I have noticed that
Dusko still calls both of them "5 Horns & Rhythm". Both records
came out on a local obscure label "Diskoton" and they soon became very
sought after by collectors all around the world. This is the first
re-release of that material.

DUSTY GROOVE AMERICA
Rare work by one of our favorite European jazz
players -- and right up there with his best recordings ever! The
session was recorded in 1983 in Sarajevo as part of some sort of
trumped-up Olympic cultural event -- but the sound is very much in the
mode of Dusko's great 70s playing for MPS and other European labels.
The group's a quintet with American Alvin Queen on drums, which really
drives the whole session nicely -- and provides some excellent
slightly-funky backings that are similar to those that Alvin was laying
down on American sessions from the same time. Other players include
Erich Kleinschuster on trombone, Milos Krstic on piano, and Kreso
Rameta on bass -- but the strength of the Gojkovic/Queen alliance is
what really makes these sessions great. And don't be put off by the
obscure origin of the material -- because this is some of the best work
by Goykovich that you'll find on the market, period. The only thing
that seems to hold it back is a slightly rough recording quality with a
bit too much in the treble end, but the playing is more than enough to
keep things strong.
