Who We Are
jazzology
Jazzology is a jazz, funk, and fusion band founded in late 2023. It began as a duo consisting of guitarist Krsman Petrović and pianist Nemanja Vračarić. Their collaboration started as a friendship, which proved to be an excellent decision over time. As they evolved, they decided to expand the lineup, welcoming bassist Vuk Stojkić, who further enriched the band’s sound. The band reached its final form with the arrival of drummer Ilija Starčević.
While working as a duo, they began composing original songs, from which Nothing Like Midnight, Danube Blues, and Take 4 emerged. During a brief period as a trio, they created Crazy Cats. In the quartet phase, the band wrote additional compositions, including Downtown Groove, Wrong Direction, Blue Bud, and many others, now totaling around twenty.
Even as a duo, the band received an invitation to perform at the Bansko Jazz Festival in Bulgaria on the young talents stage, along with three additional performances on different festival stages. Their first experiences performing together began with school concerts, soon progressing to playing in jazz clubs in Belgrade and Smederevo, and eventually across Serbia. After several successful performances, the band was invited to the Cultural Summer festival in Smederevo, where they thrilled the audience and shattered prejudices about their age, as reported by the media. Their final performance of the 2024 season took place at the Belgrade Winter festival on December 29, on the stage in Knez Mihailova Street, Belgrade.
The band’s goal is to release their first two albums of original music by the end of 2025. Their third album, featuring favorite jazz standards and popular songs of a similar style, which they often describe as “Songs we wish were ours”, is planned for release in the first half of 2026.
