Vesna Petkovic // A New One
Cat.No.: Edition ZAMA 001


Vesna Petkovic was born in Niš (Serbia). She studied jazz voice in her home town and later at the Graz University of Music and Performing Arts and graduated with the Federal Ministry of Culture’s prestigious “Würdigungspreis” in appreciation of her achievements. Almost immediately, she started performing in musicals and soon met like-minded musicians who formed a group by the name of Sandy Lopicic Orkestar and embarked on a meteoric career. Vesna played festivals and some epochal gigs, including the North Sea Jazz Festival. In 2000, Vesna got together with some of the best musicians of her home region (Serbia and Austria) to found her own band, all the while quietly writing and arranging the music that she now presents on this CD. Influences from the musical cosmos of her childhood meld with the jazz she loved and studied. She is now merging the traditional music of her homeland and cutting-edge jazz, melancholy and unfettered lust for life – all these can be heard, indeed felt, on the album “A New One”.
