Social criticism, embedded in the lyrics, provides musicians with a starting point for arrangement ingenuity and perfection, as well as the multifacetedness of instrumental (jazz) improvisations. The shift towards original music, which has been included in the repertoire since last fall. It is about the compositions of the band members, Matije Mlakar and Mance Udovič, and a composition by a renowned composer Aleš Strajnar. They manage to satisfy with a wide range of genre-diverse music a generationally diverse audience, present both under the intimate jazz club stages and at performances on big stages, where energy, impact and liveliness are expected. It is these characteristics that testify to why he performs Chords they impress both lovers of relaxation and those who want a more demanding listening experience. Their repertoire includes pop-rock tunes (Jesus Christ Superstar, Defying Gravity), ballads (I Dreamed A Dream, Maybe This Time, On My Own, Tomorrow, Hopelessly Devoted To You), but also cabaret sophistication (All That Jazz, Money Makes The World Go Round, If I Were A Rich Man) and the freedom of thought of the 60s of the last century (Aquarius). The range extends to music from more modern musical creations, such as the one from The Lion King or the pop-rock musical The Wicked, and melodies that we all find almost indispensable: Life Is A Cabaret, My Favorite Things, I Got Rhythm, On Broadway, My Heart Belongs To Daddy, and many others that provide quality and unforgettable musical experience.
