It is becoming clear that unique individuals are looking for common ground and red threads that connect them and fill them energy. Although obvious, it is often forgotten - especially it is easier to destroy than preserve. This time, individuals are joined into ‘Pangaea - the free world'. Ancient continent Pangaea is metaphorically Bezget’s conceptual starting point for a big-band, which has so far (in slightly different forms) repeatedly impressed Slovene audiences. It is a classic big band jazz ensemble traveling into unimagined musical worlds, combining melodic urban pop music with free jazz improvisation, big-band orchestration and traditional musical styles from many parts of the world. Most of the melodies and the music are vocal interpretations from excellent vocal and instrumental soloists. But as long as there will be this kind of music in the world, ambitious sounds and collaborations between local musicians with a global vision, the future does not look that bad.
