MP TRIO (Montenegro)
Miladin Peruničić, guitar
Davor Novak, bass guitar 
Ivan Ivanović, drums 

MP trio consists of guitarist Miladin Peruničić, bass guitarist Davor Novak, and drummer Ivan Ivanović – artists who have earned their educations at music academies in the country and region and who, in addition to actively being engaged in music, work as professors at the Vasa Pavić Art School for Music and Ballet in Podgorica. They are recognized by audiences for their original repertoire, which, in a slightly eclectic way, ranges from classical jazz standards and arrangements of the “manouche” music of Django Reinhardt, through modern fusion jazz and blues compositions, to arrangements of pop and rock hits. With their music, they try to merge a modern jazz sound with rhythms and motifs of world and Balkan traditional music, not devoting themselves to any of these genres in particular, but rather flirting with various sources of inspiration. Their performances, of course, possess that innate energy and appeal that stems from the concept of improvisation as the essence of jazz. The Trio has performed with many famous musicians, such as Rambo Amadeus, Ivan Aleksijević, Ljuba Paunić, Elvir Bandić-Banda, Denise Jannah, Rendy Brecker, Gabrielle Stravelli, Patrick O’ Leary, and Bobby Sanabria, among others. They have released two singles – Blues Shoes for Pitter Lemon and Hypowonder.
