The Serbian Wave continues with the release of Milos Colovic's new album, To The Beat of My Footsteps. The Belgrade based bassman is debuting on A.MA Records but is no stranger to the Serbian Wave canon due to his playing alongside and sitting in with previously released A.MA artists including Max Kochetov's live presentation of his album in Bari in 2022.                                                    

This time, it's Milos presenting his undoubted talents as musician, band leader, composer and arranger with his first A.MA release To The Beat of My Footsteps. Part of the New Bop sound, The Beat of My Fooststeps proudly displays its influences on its sleeve with big nods to Horace Silver, Bobby Timmons and Sonny Clark alongside the horn sections of Wayne Shorter and Jackie McLean as well as film soundtracks from Basil Poledouris and Carter Burwell.                                                                                                                           

However, the sound created by Milos and the trio and sextet on To The Beat of My Footsteps also takes influences in its individual tracks from the Rock and Grunge genres, not least in the two  tracks Monsieur de Bordeaux and the title track itself.
As Milos explains, ' Monsieur De Bordeaux is a bit of a “grungy” boogaloo. The A parts are adapted from a song I wrote for my rock band - Bordeaux with Jasmin Rastić of Gazorpazorp' and 'To The Beat Of My Footsteps consists of two parts. The first part is inspired by Paul Motian’s music while the second, although it’s not so obvious, actually draws inspiration from Queens Of The Stone Age. The song starts pretty melancholic but develops into an intense and triumphant vamp with all the horns soloing at the same time. It has the vibe of an end credits theme.'                                                                           

 Milos has put together a formidable line-up of musicians on this album to create both a sextet and a trio that includes fellow A.MA released artist Ivan Radiojevic alongside a cream of Belgrade based Serbian Wave jazz genius Andreja Hristic, Milos Grbatinic, Luka Ignjatovic, and Rastko Obradovic. To The Beat of My Footsteps an album of new bop Jazz to be enjoyed and savoured.
