Tamara Obrovac Quartet The reunion of the quartet (summer 2011) gave life to a new creativity and a different way of interpreting the compositions from „CD ULIKA" from 1998, (named after Tamara’s grandmother) where they presented for the first time Tamara's new way of thinking and composing which combines inspiration by the local Istrian music and dialect with the universal jazz expression. Ulika Revival Project The re-found joy of making music together, expressed through virtuoso playing, unlimited freedom of expression, humour and improvisation, characteristic of all members of the quartet, definitely confirmed their desire for a new (old) collaboration, and their latest performances proved again that music of Tamara Obrovac quartet reaches further then the constricted borders of musical classification, spreading the spirit of the Mediterranean region over geografic and musical boundaries. The idea of „ULIKA revival" project is to gather now mature musicians from Tamara Obrovac Quartet in order to re-interprete old composition from a new, more mature artistic prospective. Qurtet already held sucesfull concerts, among others on Luneburger Jazz nights, JazzAhead Bremen, Jazz au Chellah Maroco, Dusseldorfer Jazz Rally, and started with official release tour; Zagreb 4.12.14, Vienna, Porgy & Bess, 7.12.14, Ljubljana, 20.01.15. with pending dates in Germany and Austria for 2015. Reviews Here is what London jazz news noted after Jazz au Chellah concert in front of more then thousand thrilled visitors: She is an audience-captivating phenomenon. With her trio she brought a different kind of energy and soon had the crowd pleading for more. Obrovac has a phenomenal stylistic range and has the temerity to want to take her trio into any number of moods. The CD got very good recensions as well, among many others from All About Jazz, Jazzthetik, Jazz podium. From the press The revival is a great success, a masterly collection of strikingly affecting songs." - All About Jazz, Bruce Lindsay For many, Croatian singer Tamara Obrovac is still "a new voice," even though "Ulika revival" is her ninth record - and what a record it is! One of exceptionally creative and picturesque sound.? With her quartet, the Istrian singer - with 12 songs she has written herself - evokes charming and colourful sounds that blend both the dialects and melodies of Croatian music with contemporary jazz.? In every single moment of listening to the record it is wonderfully evident how these different influences blend into quite exciting and playful pieces of music. Excellent! - Jazzthetik Tamara Obrovac is quietly and secretly grown into one of Europe's greatest ethnic jazz singers and stands at par with for example Savine Yannatou or Elina Duni.? Basically melancholic, her music simultaneously impresses with inner strength and passion that brings with it the story of the mentality of an entire region. - Jazz Podium Tamara Obrovac quartet: The unique synergy of music and emotion" Freedom and improvisation. Yesterday, the Lisinski Hall enjoyed jazz to the full. The rarely seen synergy of musical virtuosos and relaxed Tamara was completed by the whole-hearted energy they got in return from the grateful audience. To quote the second number performed at the concert, "without a word" a micro-cosmos of music and pleasure was created, which is impossible to put into words. Beautiful musical experience. As often at Tamara's concerts, "Crno zlo" ("Black Evil") threw the audience into ecstasies. What gives an additional quality to this song is Tamara's very own approach to jazz: through "Crno zlo", her fascinating ability of improvisation manifests itself in all its beauty, enrapturing the audience,making it laugh and thrilling it completely. - Z. Jagodić, index.hr Thursday, February 16, 2012 "Jazz is back! Tamara Obrovac and Matija Dedić in Grožnjan" Their music represents the very essence of jazz... They all showed it with their virtuoso approach, full control over the instruments (and the voice) and by the ability for fast transformation into different styles. Inspired by the setting and her willing colleagues, Tamara was absolutely brilliant in stunning improvisations which included scat, vocalises and narrative approach, ranging from the archaic tradition of Istrian music, through baroque and classical music to jazz, funk and rock. Their music combines the very essence of jazz with the need to „expand the acquired knowledge", the importance to know the history and theory of music, to be familiar with different musical idioms, to have stage manners and the ability to create dynamics and communication both with the colleagues and with the audience, to take risks, to plunge into the unfamiliar and new, to elevate music onto a higher level... - D. Hrvoj Novi List, 02.09.2011. "On the crossroads of genres " Ulika is simply an extraordinary album, which defies every traditional critical meter; a fascinating project of an exquisite musical journey, carried out with unhibited musical imagination and the luxurious talent of Tamara and her band. - Zlatko Gall, Split, Feral tribune, August 1998.

Tamara Obrovac quartet - Detalji - Bendovi Tamara Obrovac quartet: Tamara Obrovac, glas, skladbe Matija Dedić, klavir Žiga Golob, kontrabas Krunoslav Levačić, bubnjevi CD "ULIKA REVIVAL" - "Unit records" datum izdanja 13.6.2014. Poslušajte nekoliko skladbi sa novog CD-a na ili skrolajte dolje na audio player ! "ULIKA revival" projekt : Albumom "ULIKA" Tamara Obrovac quarteta iz 1998. godine, po prvi puta predstavljen je novi način razmišljanja i komponiranja Tamare Obrovac, u kojem se spaja inspiracija lokalnim Istarskim duhom glazbe i dijalekta s univerzalnim jazz izričajem. Ponovni susret quarteta na koncertu u Grožnjanu (07/2011.) potaknuo je novu kreativnost i sasvim drugačije interpretacije starih skladbi, koje je quartet zabilježio na CD-u "ULIKA REVIVAL" snimljenim 2013 godine u studiu Artesuono u Udinama za švicarsku zdavačku kuću Unit records. Kroz ovu ponovno otkrivenu radost zajedničkog muziciranja, ostvarenu kroz virtuozno muziciranje, neomeđenu slobodu izričaja, humor i improvizaciju, svojstvenu svim glazbenicima iz quarteta, definitivno se potvrdila zajednička želja za novom (starom) suradnjom; sada zreli glazbenici iz "Tamara Obrovac quarteta" ponovno zajedno sviraju i reinterpretiraju stare kompozicije, iz nove, zrelije umjetničke vizure. Ovaj projekt je i ponovna suradnja izvrsnih i nagrađivanih umjetnika, oboje sa zasebnim uspješnim karijerama koje se periodički sreću, Tamare Obrovac i Matije Dedića. Quartet je već održao niz izvrsno prihvaćenih koncerata na međunarodnim festivalima; Luneburger Jazz Nights, JazzAhead Bremen, Dusseldorfer Jazz Rally, Jazz au Chellah Maroko; Evo što je London Jazz zabilježio poslije koncerta ispred više od tisuću oduševljenih posjetitelja na Jazz au Chellah festivalu u Rabatu u Maroku : "Tamara je fenomen koji osvaja publiku. Svojim je triom donijela jednu drugačiju energiju i mnoštvo je ubrzo preklinjalo za još. Obrovčeva ima fenomenalan stilski raspon i smjelost da svoj trio odvede u svako zamislivo raspoloženje" U vrlo kratkom roku CD je dobio izvrsne kritike u mnogim internacionalnim i domaćim jazz medijima, od kojih izdvajamo; All About Jazz, Jazzthetik, Jazz Podium, a održana je i koncertna promocija albuma: 4.12.14. Zagreb, MSU 7.12. Vienna, Porgy & Bess, 20.01. Ljubljana, Cankarjev dom. "Revival je veliki uspjeh, majstorska zbirka izrazito dirljivih pjesama." All About Jazz, Bruce Lindsay, UK Album izuzetno kreativnog i slikovitog zvuka. Sa svojim kvartetom pjevačica iz Istre, sa 12 pjesama koje je sama napisala, dočarava šarmantne i slikovite zvuke u kojima se isprepliću melodije i dijalekti hrvatske muzike i modernog jazza. U svakom momentu preslušavanja dojmljivo je prisutno kako se ti različiti utjecaji sljevaju u uzbudljivo razigranu glazbu. Impresivno! Jazzthetik, Njemačka "Tamara Obrovac se je tiho i tajno razvila u jednu od najvećih europskih etno jazz pjevačica... U osnovnom tonu melankolična, njezina glazba istovremeno impresionira unutarnjom snagom i strašću koja sa sobom nosi priču mentaliteta jednog cijelog kraja." Jazz Podium 2014. Njemačka "Eksplozija kreativnosti u posveti baki " Davor Hrvoj, 2014, Cantus "Jazz is back! U Grožnjanu nastupili Tamara Obrovac i Matija Dedić" Nadahnuta ambijentom i raspoloženim kolegama, Tamara je briljirala upuštajući se u bravurozne improvizacije koje su uklju?ivale scat, vokalize i narativni pristup, a kretale su se u rasponu od arhaične tradicije istarske glazbe, preko baroka i klasike do jazz-a funka i rocka. U njihovoj je glazbi objedinjena esencija jazza, ali i cjelokupna potreba za nadogradnjom «školskog gradiva», važnost poznavanja povijesti i teorije glazbe, raznih glazbenih idioma, ponašanja na pozornici, ostvarivanja dinamike, komunikacije s kolegama i publikom, preuzimanja rizika, upuuštanje u novo i nepoznato, dizanje glazbe na višu razinu... Hrvoj Novi List, 02.09.2011. "Na raskrižju žanrova" Ulika je naprosto izniman album, nemjerljiv tradicionalnim kritičarskim metrom ; fascinantan projekt osebujnog glazbenog putovanja, odradjen nesputanom glazbeničkom imaginacijom i raskošnim talentom Tamare & jataka.
