Gueorgui Kornazov Cross Wind Quintet

An international collaboration between Bulgaria, France, and Cuba, where the original instrumentation (three brass instruments and a rhythm section) creates a bold soundscape. CROSS WIND reflects Kornazov's boundless creativity and his talent for building musical bridges between tradition and modernity.

Georgi Kornazov, a Bulgarian trombonist and composer, is renowned for his virtuosity and unique style, blending Bulgarian musical traditions with Western jazz.

Winner of prestigious awards such as the Cristal Lire 2023 and the Bulgarian Audience Award, he is acclaimed for his complex and lyrical writing, as well as the richness of his compositions.

His music, described as overflowing with joy, optimism, and humanity, is a clever blend of irresistible melodies and brass sounds, offering an unforgettable musical experience.
