we decided to pop by national theatre after v&a to listen to a jazz trio playing the tunes of former yugoslavia's traditional music...it was agreed without discussion they sounded more like bossa nova than gypsy brass but then they started exploiting yugoslavian folk sounds and it was rather compelling..before that tho we stumbled upon four CUTEST BOYS on the planet earth!! the way these boys manipulated instruments right there on the pavement was something magnificent..reminded me of my classical music lessons and endless hours spent cramming opus conccerto g minor etc. its very very different..its classic with a twist.actually, if you never studied classical music you would not even make a connection..its something i have not heard before...so give it a go, i recomend: http://www.myspace.com/porticoquartet

you can also watch them play (on their site)
