Rubin Blog June 09 2005 "The Best Slap
Bass Player"
"...let me simply add that beyond being
a fine fellow, he also happens to be the
best "slap" style upright bassist
I've ever encountered, either in person
or on record. He's got skills and techniques
that simply boggle my mind." |

“So, if you really didn’t hear
them (Marsya) from their days of untamed
a la Wild-Bill-Hickock concert… then
the news about their existence…is
right place and moment to certify once again
their unsurpassed in their individuality
and priority in all other world music, ethnic
or whatever groups from Serbia: Sounds Global
newborn galaxy… wild upright bass
of Djordje Stijepovic… honor of Marsya’s
existence, listener should guard like some
rare value.” |

“…Their (Shira Utfila)
entirely modern improvisation, that’s
more some kind of club techno-jazz then
violent conservation of ancient sparks of
performer’s trance, includes one high
expressive punk-rockabilly upright bass,
familiar from bands Marsya and Havana Whisper…
Intoxicating and sensual and excited, but
really!” |

February 8 2001 “Havana Whisper”
“… it’s open road for
actual neo-swing attractions like Brian
Setzer Orchestra, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies,
Havana Whisper and others like them…
Havana Whisper is band from Belgrade! So
you who live in this city can’t say
that you don’t have luck. So don’t
miss out on their concerts…”

Music Playing”
“In packed atrium of National Museum
we were listening Marsya, valuable ensemble
for Balkan music… Vizantijski krug
(Byzantium Circle) was effective, improvisation
of double bass and tapan…” |

October 28 “Music of Balkan”
“…Djordje Stijepovic’s
improvisations, that include even some percussive
effects, were impressive – Razmetaniska
r’cenica (Bulgarian Round Dance) and
Vizantijski krug (Byzantium Circle)…it’s
not hard to notice that when expression
is more traditional that’s more receptive
and exciting.” |
