ALL ABOUT JAZZ (USA)
by Bruce Lindsay
The exploration on this set of Bodurov's original compositions mixes jazz and Bulgarian folk together in a series of fascinating and enjoyable musical interactions. It's a great sound, but the group's music really takes on a character of its own with the addition of guest musician Theodosii Spassov on kaval.
ALL ABOUT JAZZ (USA)
By Ian Patterson 2019
The folk music of Bulgaria has long informed Bodurov, and his deconstructions of time-honoured tunes foregrounded melody, while using the same for explorations in rhythm and tempi. One of Bulgaria's most revered jazz musicians!

The Bodurov Trio brings a welcoming and original sound in Jazz – not in a corny, boring way as it is so often the case with combinations of Jazz and Balkan music, but totally organic, warm and with guts.

The more you listen the more secrets come out of this album! The playing is interactive, dance like but sometimes also serious and contemplative. The ideas are distinct and powerful.

Jazzos are not often in love with the melody, but for the Bulgarian piano talent Bodurov, this seems to be the most important subject in his music.
