About

Hristo Vitchev is a modern jazz guitarist and composer from Sofia, Bulgaria (Europe). Now residing in the San Francisco Bay Area, Hristo leads his modern (ECM) jazz quintet which features Brazilian (Grammy nominated) pianist Weber Iago, drummer extraordinaire Joe De Rose, virtuoso multi-instrumentalist and world renowned vibraphonist Christian Tamburr, and the completely amazing bassist Dan Robbins. Fresh from their performance at the 53rdMonterey Jazz Festival, the group will be presenting the East Bay premiere of Hristo Vitchev’s brand new work “The Perperikon Suite.” This jazz suite in 7 movements is a large scale impressionistic work inspired by the ancient Thracian city of Perperikon (located on the territory of Bulgaria).
