Izvorno IcePick. The name is derived from the Macedonian Izvor (n. “source” or “spring”) and IcePick, which is among the most simple, yet useful, tools ever devised by humans.  The repertoire is the traditional village dance music of Macedonia, but incorporates jazz-inspired improvisation.  Instrumentation combines traditional and modern instruments.   The band consists of well-known San Francisco Bay Area jazz and Balkan musicians, including:

Bryan Bowman - drum set

Sheldon Brown - alto saxophone

Tom Farris - Macedonian tambura
Bill Lanphier – electric bass
