VLAD (Vagabonds Living A Dream) is a series of group and solo projects led by Serbian born pianist and composer, Vladan Milenkovic. A powerful pianist with prodigious imagination and refined technique, Vlad merges acoustic and electronic mediums into emotionally charged sound-images which range from beautifully austere to exuberant to fairy-tale like. The depth of his music can be overwhelming. His compositions often transcend categorization, bringing together vocabularies of various cultures and epochs, East and West, jazz and classical, ancient and postmodern, groove and silence, Balkan roots and electronica beats.
While studying biology at the University of Belgrade, Vlad had led his acclaimed jazz trio in former Yugoslavia before receiving a scholarship to study jazz composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston in 1991. He completed his Masters degree at University of Northern Iowa and is currently on faculty at Augsburg College in Minneapolis.
You can hear Vladan’s most recent Solo Works here:
After attending the UNI School of Music together, Vlad, Dave, and Rachel were reunited after several years quite unexpectedly. After each spending the past few years focusing on their own projects, they came together once again for a special performance in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Bringing their own stylistic approach, the idea of the eclectic, bass-less trio was born.
Combining jazz, classical, and world music, Vagabonds Living a Dream transports its listeners to a spiritual neighborhood where musical influences of past, present, and future intersect.
Dear Vladan, Thank you so much for the invitation. It's a great opportunity to listen to your latest work. Congratulations to all three of you. I enjoyed very much all the tracks. I wholeheartedly wish you the very best. You deserve it.
