Two beautiful talents – one at the peak, the other – at the start of their career, work on a first album together. This will be the debut CD of Magi Alexieva, graduating the Luybomir Pipkov National School of Music. Poogie Bell is the composer of the music, that is performed by him in the company of some more jazz greats – Marcus Miller, Bobby Sparks, Dean Brown, Michael “Patches” Stewart. The drummer discovered the talent of the Bulgarian vocalist when he was in Bulgaria in 2010. Their first two songs – Meet and Soul 69, that will be included on the album scheduled for release in autumn, made their world premiere on Jazz FM.
