Beauty, romance and lightness of sharing music make Hristo Yotsov Quintet’s new album Jazzball stand out. He gives pleasure and meaning with his talent to speak softly and say a lot. Drawing parallels between playing jazz and playing games and sports, Yotsov said in this interview by Svetoslav Nikolov: “You need a team, you get to practice a lot, you dedicate yourself and fair play is the rule – which means giving your trust and respect to the musicians you work with.” The album cover symbolically exposes Hristo Yotsov’s love for tennis that he gave up on to become a musician. The music has this magic that will, as a snow ball, move Bulgarian jazz forward and earn it many new admirers.
