Cobalt Code Unit - SOILWORK (January 2022 PMGJazz)

Another of our authentic original live recordings and productions.

Kraj Vardarot Jazz is a PMGJazz own annual festival, and this recording was made at our first ever fest in 2020. This adventurous take on Macedonian traditional folk music is as epic as it comes and as jazz as it gets. This are young people that we love, respect and plan to release again and again in the future, since they posses the sound that we think is an essential for an aspiring Macedonian jazz label. Our own contribution to the global wealth of sonicity. A work in progress.

Taxi Consilium - The Essential Sunday Gloom (May 2021 PMGJazz)

Taxi Consilium is the spiritual conjointment of four well established musicians on the PMG Jazz label and the unwholesome Macedonian Jazz Æther (Cobalt Code Unit, Yordan Kostov Quintet, Filip Bukrshliev Trio, Fighting Windmills, Svetlost Odron Ritual..), guided by the eternal wisdom of seasoned taxi drivers prowling the desolate city streets at 3 in the morning. It is epitomic after-midnight music. Maybe what Eric Dolphy would play if he was a character in a Thomas Pynchon novel. A doped up horn man who moonlights as a P.I. It is the wail of a lonely clarinet playing counterpoint to the dim sounds of fornication from the other room. Shadows and smoke, distant ominous laughter. A free-jazz hard-on in a shady dark alley.
