Matija Dedić - Octopussy

Review by Michael Rose

Octopussy, the latest album from Croatian pianist and composer Matija Dedić, is a stunning display of his virtuosic talent and creative vision. With a mix of original compositions and reimagined classics, Dedić takes the listener on a journey through various moods and styles, showcasing his versatility as a musician.

The album opens with the title track, a playful and upbeat tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, Dedić explores a range of emotions, from the melancholic "Lament" to the romantic "Love Theme" and the energetic "Cuban Rhapsody." His arrangements of jazz standards such as "Take Five" and "My Favorite Things" are fresh and inventive, demonstrating his ability to breathe new life into familiar tunes.

Throughout the album, Dedić's technical prowess is on full display, as he effortlessly navigates complex rhythms and intricate melodies. Yet, his playing never feels showy or self-indulgent; instead, he always serves the music, allowing the compositions to speak for themselves.
