Ines Trickovic is hailed as a jazz queen in her native Croatia and has captivated audiences worldwide with her unique style. Her album Runjic in Blue is considered by Croatian critics to be one of the most avant-garde jazz vocal albums in the country's history, earning her the prestigious "Porin" award for Best Jazz Performance.
She made history as the first non-American artist to perform in the esteemed New York concert series "All Souls At Sundown," sharing the stage with world-class pianist Aaron Goldberg. She has performed at major jazz festivals across France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Israel, China, the USA, and more.
Born in Belgrade, Joe Pandur received formal music training in Zagreb and furthered his jazz guitar studies in Vienna. He spent a decade performing across the USA and Canada before returning to Croatia in 2001, where he quickly became a top-tier guitarist for albums, national TV productions, and the national TV Jazz and Symphonic Orchestra.
While active in the mainstream, his passion lies in jazz. He has been privileged to study under masters like Joe Pass and Pat Martino and has shared stages with artists such as Dionne Warwick and Tony Monaco.
