The 5th of 12 exceptional concert recordings for 2019: Irresistible and joyful brass, piano, and percussion from the Kocani Orkestar in concert with jazz pianist Romeo Scacci, recorded in concert in Italy, 2010.

For 2019, I have chosen 12 exceptional concert recordings to program with one each month. I have set a couple of simple rules: the recordings will be played in their entirety and represent a single concert. These 12 recordings feature some of my favourite artists, and in many of the cases, also represent the very best from these artists. For May we will hear a simply stunning concert the Macedonian Romani brass band Kocani Orkestar did with Sardinian jazz pianist Romeo Scaccia in 2010. They perform a wide range of music in their innovative meeting with compositions from Macedonian and Balkan background and Italian popular music with classical hints. Every single piece is pure joy, one of the most perfect recordings I know.
