Jazz pianist and composer Dimitar Bodurov (1979) shapes his unique style by mixing jazz improvisation, classical composition, Bulgarian folklore and electronica.

His latest album Solo in Bonn is a live registration of his concert at Beethoven’s haus in November 2018. A lyrical and virtuosic rendition of free improvisations and original compositions based on folklore themes. The biggest journal All about jazz wrote about the album : “Technically impressive, on occasion Bodurov gives the impression that he possesses more than the standard two hands.

Yet he is no slave to flashy display. The symmetry of jazz, folk and classical language of this compelling live document is totally natural”. The album is recorded in superb quality by Deutschlandfunk and released by Optomusic in 2019.

Since 2000, Bodurov has resided in the Netherlands, where he graduated masters in jazz piano and composition from Rotterdam conservatory. He has received several jazz awards and has given concerts throughout Europe.
