For Dusko Goykovich the topic was not Spain, like Miles Davis / Gil Evans, but Yugoslavia. For the trumpeter and composer, who was born in Jajce, Bosnia in 1931, regional sensitivities were less important than the overall sound and musical impression. Because that corresponded to the cosmopolitanism of his life experience as a jazz musician, who, as a small light from the southeastern European province, after studying in Belgrade, managed to land first in Germany in orchestras from Max Greger to Kurt Edelhagen and then in America at the Newport Festival Being on stage as well as studying in Boston. It was the music that crossed the boundaries, and since Goykovich, even as a newcomer, combined profound virtuosity with the immediacy of the musical, he developed into one of the leading voices of European straight-ahead jazz, giving the power of the contemporary desire for the avant-garde juxtaposed with melodic ones.
