"Chamber Scene Plovdiv" presents three exceptional artists and their "Night at the Jazz Club".

"Chamber Scene Plovdiv" invites residents of Plovdiv and guests of the city to an unforgettable jazz evening in the heart of the Old Town. The concert titled "Night at the Jazz Club" features Lyubomir Denev - piano, Vesela Morova - vocals and Petar Momchev - saxophone. The three exceptional artists await the audience on August 8, Monday, at 8:00 p.m. at Culture Hotspot Milcho Leviev - Ivan Chernozemski House in the Old Town, 5 Tsanko Lavrenov Street.

When 7-8 years ago Ljubo Denev - an established jazz composer and pianist who participated in a number of European jazz festivals and the author of emblematic Bulgarian jazz works, persistently searched for a suitable singer for his new musical ideas, he without hesitation stopped at the graduate of the Berkeley College in Boston - Vesela Morova.

Her musicality, mobile voice, improvisational skills and general culture are more than convincing and they start working together, with Lubomir Denev composing several new pieces especially for her. This also leads to the logical decision that Vesela's first solo CD will be entirely composed by Denev.

In 2016, they recorded the album "Night in the Jazz Club", together with Dimitar Karamfilov on the double bass and Dimitar Semov on the drums, and Petar Momchev - soloist of the BNR Big Band - was invited for the saxophone parts. Numerous club concerts, appearances at festivals (Varna summer, Bansko, etc.), television shows and many others follow.

Ljubo Denev considers himself the successor of Milcho Leviev and the continuation of his work. He was nursed on the music of Jazz-Focus 65 since his school years, felt its influence in his first jazz-opuses (late 70s), met the great musician at his home in Los Angeles (1984), arranged for big band several of his pieces, and their relationship strengthened during their joint work - Ljubo conducted the concert for Milcho's 60th anniversary in Hall 1 of the NDK-Sofia. At the Jazz Festival in Bansko 2020, Lyubomir Denev, Vesela Morova and Petar Momchev present a program entirely of Leviev's works, in his memory.

At "Chamber Scene Plovdiv" in Culture spot Milcho Leviev, the Morova-Denev-Momchev trio will present a unique jazz performance based on their album "Night in the Jazz Club". Along with the improvisations on author's themes by Lubomir Denev, classic standards by Cole Porter, Talonius Monk, Milcho Leviev and others will be performed, combined with the composer's poems from his cycle "Rhythmed Words".

"Chamber Scene Plovdiv" is implemented with the financial support of the Plovdiv Municipality as part of the city's Cultural Calendar for 2022 and with the support of the "Business for Plovdiv" association.
