ABOUT BLUE LANDSCAPES

Robert Thies / Piano
Damjan Krajacic / Flutes

Damjan Krajacic

A musician of eclectic styles, and producer of a Grammy® nominated album “A Night in Upper Town”, Damjan’s background spans Jazz and Latin Jazz with a touch of his own central European heritage and Classical training. From an early age on, he was drawn to Latin music, partially due to his father—a classical guitarist with a love for Spanish guitar music—but he never lost touch with the great Classical tradition of flute playing, either. With 12 critically-acclaimed albums under his name, Damjan is a seasoned artist with a mature compositional and stylistic approach that seamlessly combines various musical styles and influences. Damjan’s music ranges from groove-packed latin-jazz to meditative ambient music. His compositions are infused with jazz and classical sensibilities as well as Eastern European rhythms and melodies.

Robert Thies

Robert is a Grammy®-nominated pianist and producer, as well as a Gold Medalist of the International Prokofiev Competition in St. Petersburg, Russia, making him the first American in 40 years to win a competition on Russian soil. Although internationally renowned as a classical pianist and recording artist, Robert began improvising and composing at an early age. Influenced by the European classical and jazz artists of the ECM label, as well as the pioneering sound of the Windham Hill, Robert remains passionate in exploring spontaneous and creative music-making. These five volumes of Blue Landscapes with Damjan have proven to be the perfect vehicle for musical conversation that is heartfelt and honest.
