EYOT
EYOT is the band founded in Nis, Serbia about 3 years ago. Their music
represents the musicians hungering for a fresh sound, blending the
culture of jazz, the sophistication of classical piano, the gritty
elements of East European folk music, and just a hint of smooth
electronic fusion. In 2009 they were one of the three winners of
Umbria Jazz Balkanic Windows Competition; many domestic and
international festivals followed later (Nišvill Jazz Fest, World of
Jazz in Dubai, DOKfest in Munich, Alarma Punk Jazz in Sofia, Veisa
Jazz / Saransk...), along with club gigs on regular basis.
The most prominent jazz web-site “All About Jazz” voted them as Video
of the day & Mp3 of the day.
In 2010/2011 they had their album “Horizon” launched in USA, Croatia and Serbia
EYOT is a winner of the MIDEM OFF 2012 Competition
" EYOT has made an emphatic and impressive recording debut."

“Eyot verwebt einen Mix aus Jazzkultur , mit düsteren Elemente der
osteuropäischen Folklore und untermalt diese mit einem Hauch glatter
elektronischer Fusion und der Raffinesse des klassischen Klaviers .
Ergebnis ist das Eyot Jazz in einer neuen Dimension. “ Frank Schöne /
Musik-Abteilung @ www.dokfest-muenchen.de/
“EYOT is surely one of the most quality and promising young bands out
