Composer and flutist Damjan Krajacic is an artist characterized by "his own style defined by the immediacy, intensity, quality and sophistication of sound" [Cantus Magazine]. With 6 critically-acclaimed albums under his name, Damjan is a seasoned artist with a mature compositional and stylistic approach that seamlessly combines various musical styles and influences. Damjan's music ranges from groove-packed latin-jazz to meditative ambient music. His compositions are infused with jazz and classical sensibilities as well as Eastern European rhythms and melodies. They continuously challenge the boundaries and role of the flute in small, improvisatory groups. His jazz quartet CD "Visions", with pianist Matija Dedic, bassist Martin Gjakonovski and drummer John Hollenbeck, was nominated in Croatia in 2015 for the prestigious Porin Award "Best Jazz Music Album". Damjan currently leads his own latin-jazz quintet "baCLAVE", with which he is releasing a new album in 2020. In 2006, Damjan started a collaboration with pianist Robert Thies with a release of a crossover improvisatory album "Difference". This led to two more critically-acclaimed albums for Gentle Rain Records in the Fall of 2012 and 2016: Blue Landscapes and Blue Landscapes II: Discoveries, two collections of original compositions and improvisations. The latter CD won a Global Music Award while the third album of the Blue Landscapes series was just released by Real Music on January 24, 2020.
