Dejan Terzic's musical vision emerges in his Diaspora, an album made with the musicians of the Underground project. And it could not be otherwise, as eight of the nine tracks in the ladder (to which "Jewish Folksong" is added) bring the signature of a drummer who lives in Germany, who succeeds in joining the jazz tradition with the stylistic peculiarities of his own land Thanks also to the support of collaborative and high tech technicians. Among them, Tino Derado plays a key role: the sound of his accordion is almost always at the center of the arrangements arranged by Terzic, and emanates continually the fragrances and musical ideas of eastern Europe, full of charm, tradition and irresistible appeal. Melodies that interweave with Brad Shepik's guitar-the only one that slides off some of the virtuosity out of the group and Chris Speed's fiatist. The leader does not give anything to the fine show to himself, but his way of conducting the music behind the drums demonstrates a rhythmic mastery of excellence, ranging from small hints to the decisive phrases, moving safely both to rigid binary and sluggish movements disparities. An intense and stratified album that stretches out for long stretches of minor tones capable of translating into the music the feelings of suffering of many peoples, forced to abandon their roots in search of freedom elsewhere, far too often just a façade. ~ AAJ Staff https://www.allaboutjazz.com/diaspora-dejan-terzic-enja-records-review-by-aaji-staff.php  (Translate by Google)
