PROJECTS:

Ethno Jazz group Trigon was born in 1992 owing to desire to play music for the soul, which one is unexpected for musicians has brought to them the European grade already in 1994, thanking to the award of the French Academy of arts "Charles Cros" for debut CD - "The Moldovan wedding in jazz". "Trigon's style encompasses elements of folk, jazz, rock and symphonic music. Brilliant improvisations and a keen understanding of musical forms characterize their jazz compositions. Trigon is undoubtedly a phenomenon in modern jazz music in its highest intellectual expression"
L.Osipova, Vice-president of the Russian Composers Union

During its two-decade-long evolution, Anatol Stefanet’s group Trigon has achieved a
fascinating synthesis between the autochtonous musical tradition and the cosmopolitan spirit of jazz.
Trigon’s unforgettable performances are impassioned whirlwinds of emotions transposed into music.
However, the instrumentalists’ temperamental involvement is balanced by a sovereign musical
sense and art of the nuances. Able to amaze listeners from all over the world,
Trigon paradoxically remains an underrated trophy in the ever-growing field of ethno-jazz.
Seemingly that is the price to be paid by artists who remain faithful to their roots these days,
 unless they are boosted by some para-aesthetic conjuncture. In effect, this musical and cultural
 phenomenon escapes any labeling. Trigon means Moldo-Romanian artistry in music at its best.
Virgil Mihaiu music critic of Jazz Critics Association of America (J.J.A.)

Trigon`s music was broadcasted on radio stations like BBC/London, WDR/Koln, Radio Cluj - Vocea Transilvaniei, RDP - Radio Portuguesa, Voice of America/ Washington, Radio Novi Sad, Radio Free Europe, Radio Nova de Porto, Radio France Internationale, in Switzerland on three radio posts where was presented by jazzolog Jurg Solothurnmann in 1995, 1996, 2000, CD-Radio Cluj -Napoca, Radio Paris-Lisboa, Radio of Russia.
