Trailer of the project

Very happy to announce I won the 2nd place in the '7 virtual Jazz Club' online competition in the under 25 years old category. I sent in my composition 'Dark Days, Darker Nights' which I recorded for Klara with Tristan Baars and Arne Lagatie in 2023. There were some nice comments from the jury:

"The trio works together like a well-oiled machine. The spontaneous music flows from one musician to another with facility and grace. The way the repeating motifs are embellished keeps the music engaging and captivating." - Edoardo Pappi

"I've been very impressed. We've seen Milan before (…), it's just such a joy to see a musician growing and learning along the way. This was a very competent and professional performance. Lovely, swinging performance that I was very happy to hear." - John Fenton

Thanks to 7virtualJazzClub Edition 2024!
