Lolita was founded in 1987 in Ljubljana (ex-Yugoslavia, now Slovenia) by three musicians. Primoz Simoncic – sax, Blaz Grm – drums, Iztok Vidmar – bass had previously performed in various Rock in Opposition, Jazz, Punk and New Wave bands in Slovenia. After a year the guitarist Samo Ljubesic joined the group. They recorded their first cassette-tape on a 4-channel tape recorder at their home rehearsal room, which was released by FV-Ljubljana in 1989. The same company published the LP called Lolita in 1991. During that time Lolita was playing her own music in the Ana Monro Theatre play called George Dandin. That year the guitarist Samo and the drummer Blaz left the group. Mirsad Sabic replaced Blaz. Lolita participated with music and movement in the dance performance "Vso sreco ti zelim (I wish you all the luck)" together with the choreographer Iztok Kovac and PTL (Dance theatre Ljubljana) in a production of Cankarjev Dom Ljubljana. It was also performed at the dance theatre festival in Budapest 1991. Music from that experience was released on the tape Pik Pok in self edition. Before the split Lolita played all around Yugoslavia and also at some concerts in Italy, Hungary, Austria and Netherlands. With the money earned from writing the music for the performance "Sluga dveh gospodov" by C.Goldoni/Andrej Rozman/Franci Krizaj (LG Celje) Lolita recorded the live CD called BoPa (But It’ll Be). For the promotion of the CD various Slovenian artists contributed their illustrations, graphic designs and photos for the Spring ’95 T-shirt. Lolita and KUD France Preseren released studio-made CD Lolipop in 1996. The painter Oliver Marceta directed the video spot Zelenjavna Mavrica (Vegetable Rainbow), a song from the CD. A guest at another song from that CD, Modri Vlak (The Blue Train), was the actor Zijah A. Sokolovic, a Bosnian actor currently working in Austria. Through that friendship a ‘humoresque for jazz quartet and an actor’ called The Bear by Anton P. Cehov and Zijah A. Sokolovic was put up in 1997 for the European Month of Culture in Ljubljana. After more than 30 re-runs it is still performed around Slovenia and Croatia. With The Bear violinist Jelena Zdrale joined Lolita and drummer Marjan Stanic replaced Mirsad, which gave Lolita a new Ethno-Balkan flavour. In 1998 Lolita wrote the music for the short movie Hotel Intercontinental by Oliver Marceta. Together with the new guitarist Igor Bezget a new CD called Lulu, recorded live in the club Channel Zero, was released in 1999. At that time violinist Matjaz Sekne replaced Jelena. Following the release of the CD Lolita again became a trio: Primoz Simoncic - sax, Marjan Stanic - drums, Iztok Vidmar – bass. In 1999 the trio performed in a show called Trnovo Orchestra where seven musicians conducted by the actor Zijah A. Sokolovic improvised on his cues and thoughts. The concert was recorded at the home bakery and released in limited edition for fans on the CDR Trnovo Orchestra Dance. The year 0 was also the year of Lolita’s jazz festivals: they performed at Jazz festival Cerkno 2000 (Slovenia), Ljubljana Jazz festival ’00 (Slovenia), Pepsi Sziget 2000 - Banán Jazz Stage (Budapest, Hungary), Kumanovo jazz festival (Macedonia), Nishville Jazz Festival (Nis, Belgrade, Yugoslavia). | ||

Music description: "The music
is lolipopesque - in other words: their own. It cannot be classified
to any of the modern music fields because it steals from everybody
(free, Coltrain, funk..). Somebody labeled them as hardboppop... The
music is pleasant, very energetic at moments (drummer cuts loose
from chains), stomping its feet from joy and then the bass barges in
which is lyric after all and the scene is cooled off. Sax, after all
these recordings is clearly recognizable, makes an artistic
intermezzo that may be followed by either everything or nothing at
all...".
