Duško Gojković, Kenny Clarke-Internacionalni Jazz Oktet LP, Mascom MCRLP 503 (Reissue, 2026)

The album "International Jazz Octet Duško Gojković & Kenny Clarke" represents a significant achievement of the Yugoslav jazz scene from the sixties. On this edition, trumpeter Duško Gojković brings together an international jazz ensemble, in which the legendary American drummer Kenny Clarke, one of the pioneers of bebop, occupies a special place. The album shows how European and American jazz musicians can successfully connect in a common musical expression. The music on the album is based on the modern sound of the sixties, especially elements of hard bop and bebop. Gojković's trumpet plays a leading role and is characterized by a strong, clear tone and expressive improvisation. The rhythmic basis is provided by the drums of Kenny Clarke, who was already recognizable for his innovative approach to jazz rhythm. His style brings a stable "swing" and gives other musicians room for improvisation. In the early sixties, Clarke had a great influence on the development of the European jazz scene, which is very evident on this album.
