NIKOLA-MIMO MITROVIC was born in 1941 in Budva. He started playing the trumpet in Budva Town music and later continued playing music during his studies of Chemistry Engineering in Belgrade (he graduated from the Faculty of Technology). He acquired his musical education through persistent independent study, the most important being the experience and advice he received while working with orchestras throughout Europe in the period between 1965 and 1978.
From 1978 to 1988 he was a permanent member of the RTV Belgrade Jazz Orchestra, the Markovic - Gut Sextet, and an associate member of the "Trumpets and Rhythm Unit" - the orchestra of Dusko Gojkovic and Lale Kovacev, where he played the trumpet and flugelhorn. Since 1988 he has continued his successful music career in Sweden where he lives. He is a permanent member of the Lansmusiken - Jamtalnds Lan Orchestra and the "High Coast" Big Band which embraces jazz musicians from a few towns in central Sweden. With these orchestras he has performed at a number of jazz festivals worldwide. In 1983 he represented Yugoslavia in the "All Stars Big Band" European Music Union Orchestra for that year at the Jazz Concert held in Stockholm. He has worked with almost all Yugoslav jazz musicians as well as with many international stars such as: Terry Clark, Ernie Wilkins, Alvin Queen, Tony Scott, Kenny Drew, etc. He has made about twenty LPs and CDs. He has also been involved in educational work in Yugoslavia and Sweden alike.
Since the beginning of the Budva Town Theatre, he has worked to obtain the same treatment for jazz as all other fields of cultural activity already have, where the International Jazz Festival and the International Summer School would represent its summit. For this reason he and his friends have organized various jazz concerts within the framework of the Budva Town Theatre.

IVAN ALEKSIJEVIC was born in Pancevo in 1971. He finished the 'Stankovic' Music High School. He has been working with the RTS Big Band since 1995. He has also worked with many well known domestic and foreign jazz, pop and rock musicians. He is often engaged as a studio musician.
