Fish in Oil for maybe Eclectic or Classic Fusion. Their albums are kinda different from one another.
They are from Belgrade, existing in different forms and formations since 1993, but releasing their first album in 2012. Two more albums since then have been released.
Members:
Veljko Nikolić (Papa Nik) - percussions Tom Fedja Franklin - drums Branislav Radojković - double bass, bass guitar Bratislav Radovanović - guitar Dušan Petrović - saxophone

Thanks for the suggestion, but we are going to pass on this one. Its mostly garage rock, not really any fusion to be found.

Well, I have to say this surprized me quite a lot.
I have never tought of Fish in Oil as rock band and they are playing at all the jazz festivals and clubs here on the Balkans. Neither did I hear someone to call them a rock band. Sure they have some rock influences, too, as well as many others, but at least Jazz Related Rock should be enough for them in my opinion.
On every page, where they are mentioned, they are reffered as a jazz band. Including allaboutjazz.com (https://www.allaboutjazz.com/fish-in-oil-drnch-by-nenad-georgievski.php), jazzin.rs (http://www.jazzin.rs/fish-in-oil-bratislav-radovanovic/) etc.
Maybe check again, perhaps the first video wasn't jazzy enough.

Okay, it was the bandcamp where they were playing rocknroll, the videos are better. We'll check them again.

On the bandcamp profile there is only the first album, which is much more rocky and bluesy than the others, yes. But even in it there is enough jazz I think. Their third one is the jazziest, but there are still no videos of it on the net. I have it on CD, so if you wish I could provide samples, in order for you to be completely sure they are jazz.

The first two tracks on the bandcamp album are misleading, those two tracks don't really show the band at their best. After listening to the rest of the album, they are much better than I originally thought. We'll get them added soon.

The first track is for sure totally misleading. I haven't thought about that. But I also included a video of the third one, which by all means is quite jazzier. The video embedding thing here deosn't work, though, so video links are kinda easier to be left unnoticed.
