VID DRAŠLER (Slo)

Vid Drašler is from Bistrica ob Sotli, where he played in a jazz-rock band Zmajev rep and in the Malik. With the Balžalorsky / Drašler trio he made a breakthrough in Slovenian jazz. With no less subtlety he plays in a chanson-oriented Orkestrada. One of his next peaks is the Drašler – Karlovčec – Drašler trio whose noisy improvisation is in no way less clear than his earlier more structured work. In 2014 he put out a solo album “Kramljanja”. His next phonological achievement is “My Ear Has Got Sharp Edges” with the Trojnik trio. Vid has collaborated in several theatre productions as well as with the Kombo Kombo – a jazz orchestra lead by Zlatko Kavčič, with whom he also studied for four years. He has been active as a pedagogue and co-author of music and art events in the town of Vrhnika, where he is also the curator of a weekly workshop focused primarily on non-idiomatic improvisation. In 2015, he founded the VD Septet with music ranging from free jazz to improvisation. He also started a fruitful free-jazz collaboration with Jošt Drašler and Cene Resnik. He recorded and performed with the Olfamož Orchestra. He has collaborated with the following musicians: Zlatko Kaučič, Vitja Balžalorsky, Jošt Drašler, Marko Karlovčec, Andrej Boštjančič, Andrej Fon, Tomaž Grom, Cene Resnik, Kaja Draksler, Mario Rechtern, Linda Sharrock, Petr Zelenka, Samo Kutin, Tao G.
