Bosque are the young fusion quintet from Serbia lead by bassist Miloš Bosnić. Their debut album "Four Noble Truths" contains four compositions, forty six and half minutes long in all.

Music is well recorded and ever better played - obviously influenced by European fusion of 70s skilled young musicians demonstrate precisely calculated high energy mixture.The opener "Residex P" recall Alan Holdsworth's guitar experiments from 80s, "Four Noble Truths"(longest album's composition lasting more than 21 minute) from very first seconds sounds as Mashavishnu Orchestra's reincarnation, but on the way changes lot of rhythms and structures.

"Millwall Park" is actually a mid-tempo bluesy rock ballad played by jazz fusion band.Album's closer,"River Pilot" opens with bass soloing against jazzy drumming and only after almost three minutes rest of the band starts to participate.This is album's jazziest composition with interesting sax,guitar and keyboards soloing.

Strongest debut parts are good communication between band members, strong interplay and technical musicianship plus respect to best classic fusion traditions. What I missed in their music most of all is adventure,search for new sounds and ways which is such important for any young band.

In all - strong album for fans of Allan Holdsworth and John McLaughlin music, it's great to see how young generation of Serbian jazz musicians returns to world jazz scene.
