 | Aleksandar Dujin 
            Quintet was formed 1995. In Novi Sad as band who plays authorized 
            compositions of A. Dujin, inspired by different musical trends 
            (jazz, latino, funk…). During last period they played a great number 
            of concerts in Novi Sad, Zrenjanin, Subotica, Belgrade… and 
            participated at Valjevo Jazz Festival.
 It’s 
            very important to mention that these musicians started a big time 
            interest for jazz among young instrumentalists of Vojvodina and made 
            basis for establishing “Vojvodina Big Band”. This one year old band 
            made several concerts in the county. Until now Quintet released one 
            CD in private production titled “Smooth Jazz” Vol. 1, already 
            planing to record Vol. 2 of the same 
          title.
