EYOT

Eyot is the band founded in Nis, Serbia about 2 years ago.
Their music represents the musicians hungering for a fresh sound, blending the culture of jazz,
the sophistication of classical piano, the gritty elements of East European folk music,
and just a hint of smooth electronic fusion.

About Eyot:

"The Nirvana of European Jazz" - Sir Earl Grice (Roni Jordan,Roy Meriwether, Mel Davis)

"This band has the organization that holds the music together like a film score telling a story from beginning to end.
Each piece is a masterful reminder that nothing stays the same.
The passion that each member contributes to this band pulls the listener in to a place of something that I can only describe as "The Complete Experience."
Kudos to EYOT for their passion and commitment to the forward motion of music, life and love. "
- Sarah Jane Cion

"One of the best (not just jazz) albums from this year's production." www.jazzin.rs
