This ensemble has shared tremendous understanding, communication and joy in playing music from the very beginning, and it continues to do so to this day.” It is always a pleasure to play with Matija, Kruno and Žiga, with whom I have shared an uncompromising dedication to music for the past 26 years. “Though the compositions are a bit more complex, they follow my existing expression. This is what Tamara says about the album and her cooperation with the long-time quartet members, Nuvola is Tamara’s 13th album, recorded at the Istrian National Theater in Pula late last year. The unveiling of the soul in these compositions is more noticeable than ever.” They are more contemplative, more spiritual and more suggestive. While she still retains her distinctive approach, her new songs are completely different from everything she has done to date.
“Just when you think there could be no major change or a new creative twist after her countless performances and albums, with which she surprises us again and again, Tamara manages to delight us with new creativity. Our well-known jazz columnist Davor Hrvoj wrote the opening text of the CD, in which he highlights the new creative step that Tamara Obrovac took with Nuvola, The Quartet’s first concert promoting Nuvola before the largest musical audience will take place at the JazzHR Festival in the Tvornica culture on March 29, followed by the album presentation in Pula (April 6, Klub & knjižara Giardini 2), and concerts in Split (April 27, Hrvatski dom Split) and Zadar (April 28, Providurova palača). Nuvola by the Tamara Obrovac Quartet marks the quartet’s 25th anniversary and their 25 years of playing music together. Like the previous albums, this one was also recorded by the quartet lineup that has not changed since 1997: Tamara Obrovac (vocalist), Matija Dedić (piano), Žiga Golob (double bass) and Krunoslav Levačić (drums). Tamara Obrovac is the author of all the compositions and lyrics on Nuvola, with the exception of the lyrics of the compositions La nuvola and Kovarske litanije which were written by Daniel Načinović, an acclaimed Istrian poet and Tamara’s regular associate. Seven original compositions are featured on this album, from the opening Na nebu postelja, through La nuvola (Cloud) from which the album takes its name, Zatancaj, Dvi divojke and Niki drugi svit, to the closing Oče moj and Kovarskih litanija. Twenty-five years after the debut album Ulika, which presented the unique musical style of Tamara Obrovac, and ten years after Ulika Revival, we have before us Nuvola, Tamara Obrovac's new original album, the third one created by this outstanding musician and author and her Tamara Obrovac Quartet.
