With In the Land of…, Slovenian bassist and composer Robert Jukič invites listeners into a musical landscape shaped by imagination, exploration, and spontaneous interaction. Blending contemporary jazz, rich melodies, and adventurous improvisation, the project brings together four distinctive musical voices: Robert Jukič on double bass, Jean-Paul Estiévenart on trumpet, Wajdi Riahi on piano, and Wolfi Rainer on drums.
A meeting of different musical personalities, In the Land of… is an invitation to explore new territories through sound, dialogue, and the freedom of improvisation.
“In The Land Of… feels like a mature, thoughtful work from a seasoned composer. It’s reflective, evocative and melodic, with a gentle yet expressive sound. Rather than being flashy or virtuosic, it aims for atmosphere — subtle, emotional, nuanced. For fans of jazz with a cinematic, introspective, story-telling quality, it’s a rewarding listen.” Odzven
