Description

"Vlla I Vogel, Bot e Malle" is Albanian for "Little Brother, Big World." It is an ethnic Albanian work of art with a twist from every corner of the earth.

Jack's music is influenced first by God, and then many great musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven, Chuck Berry, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Hendrix, Santana, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Janice Joplin, The Doors, Ozzy and a few unknown Albanian "ifteli" players.

The "ifteli" which you will hear on the album, is a small teardrop looking instrument with a long skinny neck and two strings. It may be tuned in 4ths, 5ths or according to the key of the song. The "ifteli" may be small but its sound pierces the universe and echoes a brilliant sound right back to your heart.

Most of the tracks in the album were recorded at home, except for the drums, bass and backup vocals that were recorded at the music room of "Holy Name of Jesus" church in Indialantic, FL. Jack is very thankful to "Holy Name of Jesus" for letting him use the room for the recordings.

1.Prshndetje Botnor (Greetings Human)
A song about humans stepping on earth for the first time and the journey one must go through until old age or death.
2.Goca e Lir (Free Goca)
A folk Albanian dance featuring the "ifteli", Guitar, Drums and other effects.
3.Jet e Paekuptueshme (Unfathomable Life)
It's a song about Jack's brother tragically killed at the best stage of his life.
4.Dashuri e Par (First Love)
An instrumental with a love poem
5.ifteli Mania
Just what it says.
6.Mos Qaj Nse Don Liri (Don't Cry if You Want Freedom)
It's a song about Kosova and the love its people have for it.
7.Hymni i Flamurit
The Albanian National Anthem
