Press:
"The basic musical pattern is always jazz-oriented, fused with fiery gypsy music, Latin American rhythms, and country elements....
And so their music, which ranges from jazz to ethno, from classical to popular music, fits into every living room, every party and wedding, and every concert hall, big or small, around the globe.
Songs between worlds and connecting worlds...everything fits together to form a harmonious whole."
(Review of CD: "new songs" by Klaus-Dieter Zeh, Jazzpodium 06/2002)

Duo Fidelzardo
The Cologne duo Fidelzardo presents themselves with a fiery mixture of gypsy swing, folk and melodic jazz.
The two musicians Edzard Model (violin) and Vladislav Vashchenko (guitar) have been travelling for many years and
collect the most beautiful musical impressions.
These impressions live on in the compositions of the two musicians.
.
In Fidelzardo, the acoustic instruments enter into a dialogue full of wit and joy of playing.
The duo moves lightly between traditional gypsy swing and modern jazz sounds.
The result is music full of poetry, whose atmospheric density captivates and enchants the listener.
