Robert Jukič Quartet - CD release ‘Res Publica’

Robert Jukič is a bassist known for his strong beat and deep sound. He has been performing and recording as a sideman with many European and American artists. He is also leading his own bands and projects of which there are 18 records. ‘Res Publica’ is quartet’s third release. The quartet is rooted in jazz and improvisation and is staying true to their path of searching for freedom within the given compositional frames while aknowledging the titles and the ideas behind them. The quartet without a harmonic instrument combines strong melodic content with the abstract of the harmonic structure. A wide variety of seeds is heard as the quartet paints vivid pictures of strength, fragility, hope, courage, joy and sadness, victory and defeat, of tragedy, absurdity and relativity of everything.
