UROS PERIC – With Strings / Fancy Music Records, 2019 / CD / blues, jazz, country balade / Slovenija
Uroš Perić (Perry) slovenački je pjevač, muzičar, singer-songwriter… Postao je prepoznatljiv zahvaljujući interpretacijama pjesama iz zlatne ere bluesa, jazza i soula. Isto tako, poznat je i kao autor brojnih kompozicija. Do sada je bezbroj puta nastupio u više od 23 zemlje – Europe, Rusije, USA i Afrike. Uroš svira i klavir i to smireno – na bluesy, jazzy način i neki ga porede sa Gene Harrisom. Uroš ima i glas koji mu daje osobit pečat. Njegov interes jeste retro muzika, ali donešena na svjež način.
Jasno je da je Ray Charles načinio najveći uticaj na Urošev muzički izražaj. Od ostalih muzičara, Uroš cijeni i ono što rade Nat King Cole, Aretha Franklin, Ben Webster, Dinah Washington, Gene Harris, Erroll Garner, Gladys Knight, Donnie Hathaway, Quincy Jones, David Fathead Newman, Hank Crawford, Billie Holliday, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke i drugi.
Uroš je svoju bogatu profesionalnu muzičku karijeru počeo 2004. godine uz The Moonlighting Orchestra i od tada je redovno držao koncete ili je radio u studiju uz muzičare i bendove kao što su –

Na albumu sarađivali – Uroš Perić (vokal, Wurlitzer, Rhodes, klavir itd…) ; Gudači Simfonijskog orkestra Slovenija (gudačke dionice) ; The Pearlettes (prateći vokali) – ima ih još, ali nemam svih informacija
Prednovogodišnji koncert (Dancing dvorana Doma mladih, Skenderija, Sarajevo, 29-12-2019), već mnogima poznatog Sarajevo Big Banda uz specijalnog gosta – vokala i klaviriste iz Slovenije – Uroša Perića, donio mi je u fokus interesa tog mladog muzičara. Istražujući njegovu bogatu muzičku prošlost, zaprepastio sam se, pozitivno naravno, koliko taj umjetnik iza sebe ima uspješnih kolaboracija, kao i muzičkih izdanja. Ovdašnji mediji, nažalost, ne prate dešavanja i vrijedne umjetnike iz našeg regiona. To i daje odgovor kako nam mnoge istinske veličine ostanu “ispod radara“. Srećom, tu su regionalni web portali (Barikada – World of Music, recimo) i muzički recenzenti, koji upozoravaju i propagiraju upravo te prave i istinske vrijednosti. Jedan od tih je, svakako, i Uroš Perić.
Veliko mi je zadovoljstvo da sam, nakon malog zastoja u radu (uzrokovanog porodičnim i prijateljskim obavezama uzrokovanim smjenom jedne godine u drugu) svoj recenzentski rad nastavio upravo sa ovim izdanjem. Uroš Perić i njegov album “With Strings“, na najljepši način mi je obilježio početak 2020. godine. Zbog ovako kvalitetne muzike i osjećam veliku želju, pa to držim i svojom obavezom, da muziku poput ove, podijelim sa širim krugom muzičkih konzumenata. To me “tjera” da nastavim sa svojim radijskim serijalom “Krilati kotači“. Živi bili, pa dočekali.
Uroš je sa nosačem zvuka, “With Strings“, napravio veoma neuobićajen album, skup pjesama, za ovo sadašnje vrijeme. Balade u blues, jazz, country… stilu, vrhunski odpjevane, aranžirane i odsvirane. Uroš ih pjeva na engleskom jeziku manirom velikih američkih baladera iz nekog davno prošlog i ljepšeg vremena kada se PJEVALO, a ne kako to rade sada. U tome je Uroš veoma uspješan. Sve pjesme sa ovog albuma bile su na repertoaru nekoliko velikih i legendarnih pjevača – Ray Charlesa, Gene Harrisa i Nat King Colea. U izvođenju Uroša Perića sve te pjesme našle su svog dostojnog interpretatora. Sve aranžmane je uradio Leon Firšt, osim za pjesmu “Over the Rainbow” koju je aranžirao Lojze Krajnčan.
Da zaključim – album “With Strings“, koji potpisuje Uroš Perić, trebao bi se naći u svakoj, iole ozbiljnijoj, muzičkoj diskoteci. To je album koji se sluša naizust i kojem ćete se često vračati. Ako imate bar malo povjerenja u moj sud, vjerovat ćete mi bez izuzetka. Prijatno slušanje vam želim. Užitak – zagarantovan.
