about

ENGLISH
Rossitza is one of the most original jazz harpist in Europe.
Born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria, the gifted artist cultivated her admiration for music at the National School of Music “Lubomir Pipkov ». She continued her education at the National Academy of Music in Sofia, Bulgaria, earning both Bachelor and Master degrees in the study of classical harp.

In 1999 Rossitza moved to Nice, France, where she expanded her harp education with the French Harp virtuoso Elizabeth Fontan-Binoche and her knowledge of jazz with the French jazz pianist Robert Persi and became the first Jazz harpist with an official degree from the «Conservatoire National» in France.

Many prestigious jazz and harp festivals followed, and both as a soloist and with her trio she earned

1st prizes at events like the “Auvernier Jazz Contest “Switzerland, the “Tremplin Nice Jazz Festival », the

“Tremplin Music Contest Jazz” Juan Les Pins. Her use of space and ability to integrate the freedom of improvisation with the nuances of various styles of music gently involve us in the intimate and elegant universe of the jazz and pop harp.

FRENCH

"...La harpiste créa le choc au tremplin de jazz à Hyères en mai ; nous n’avions jamais entendu une harpe jouer jazz de cette façon. Elle reçut d’ailleurs le prix du soliste, et le prix du public. Elle s’est donnée un phrasé piano assez sensationnel, ou guitare, tout en gardant les spécificités de la harpe. Elle s’est entourée d’une rythmique parfaite avec deux musiciens d’une grande finesse, un bassiste au tempo imperturbable et très fin et profond dans les solos, un batteur attentif, soulignant et relançant, et dispensant ce swing nécessaire.
Pour son premier disque Rossitza a choisi un ensemble de thèmes certainement un peu pour montrer toutes les facettes du trio. De grands standards comme « Softly As A Morning Sunrise et Stella By Starlight » distillés avec une sûreté et un feeling parfaits. La jolie chanson d’Aldo Romano « Il Camino » très prenante. Le « Libertango » qui nous montre une autre inspiration mais reste jazz. Et un chant « Dilmano Dilbero », de son pays natal, la Bulgarie, qu’elle chante avec conviction, et jazzifie ensuite de belle manière. Et comme elle compose aussi, on trouve quelques beaux thèmes de sa plume..."Jazz Hot/Serge Baudot
