Records, reviews, stages
Music
Three records: one alone, one with a trio, one with a quintet. Where I come from a melody is never left plain. It gets turns, trills and uneven beats. That habit is in all three.
Three records
The V3 trio
Folk Legacy
V3 is a trio: piano, bass, drums. Balkan folk songs and odd metres played as jazz. With Akos Forgacs on bass, Milos Branisavljevic on drums and guest Ismail Lumanovski on clarinet. Recorded live at Peter Karl Studios in Brooklyn.
The Psychaudio quintet
Connect

What the critics said
“He is blessed with seemingly limitless technique with which to express what feels like a bottomless well of emotions.”
“Orchestral in scope, Vladan's pianism is muscular and virile, demonstrating a forceful kinetic energy that is highly listenable.”
“always shows a mastery of mood and thought.”
