This tune is a masterpiece in melodic development: the ideas seem to flow freely from Bojan's fingers, each one organically connected to the previous one.
This is a peculiar tune, and it also sounds like a warmup (an amazing one!). It's hard to know how much of the piece is improvised, though there is a melodic motif that runs throughout the piece. mainly based on two chords (G#m and G) and just one scale (G#m blues scale) over one octave (!). There is also a 4-bars "bridge" over non-diatonic minor chords (Cm-C#m-Am-Fm).
Don't Buy Ivory, Anymore !
Beautiful song by Henri Texier, as played by Bojan.

This is a wonderful piece, with a simple yet moving melody, almost classical sounding. There are several sections: the main melody, an interlude, several improvations including one in 17/16 (yes, you read that right).

Let's get down to business... In the intro, the left hand is in regular 4/4 but the right hand plays in 5/8. I've written down the theme in 5+5/8, it seemed the easier way to do it. The solo is mainly in 5+4/8… here it gets really tricky! But the tune is so clear and beautiful that we quickly forget these traps set by Bojan!
Hometown
A rather simple tune (it's 4/4, but the 6/4 part can be tricky…), originally played with piano + Fender Rhodes, arranged for a solo piano.
Bohemska
Swingy “Monkish” tune !
303
Once again, some odd measures here ! It starts in 3/4 around a D7b9, and it transforms into a fast 4+5/8 around Cm/D7, with very nice colours.

So if Bojan 'forgets' some 8th but then add some later nothing is missing at the end :)
