The musicians playing in SplitMinders are: Dražen
Bogdanović, saxophones;
Ivan Božičević, keyboards; Nenad Bego, bass
guitar; Boris Popov, percussion,
Andrej Petković, drums, with poetic support by
Erma Sotirova.

SplitMinders finished their
first studio album entitled Sotto mare, sopra aria, published
by the
«Best Music»
label. Seven instrumental tracks make the core of the album (six
originals and an arrangement of Gibonni's "Tempera"). The beginning
and the end of the album are rounded off by two vocal tracks, in
which SplitMinders collaborated with singer and guitarist
Tedi Spalato (“Splitski blues”) and
dalmatian
'klapa' «Cambi»
(“Svitlo
jubavi”).
The band performed
successfully on stages across Croatia, especially at the Spring
jazz revue in Zagreb, International Jazz & Blues Festival
in Split, Art Jazz Festival in Makarska, Hvar culture
summer, and the Festival in Kaštela.
