Original music by Bartley will be performed from his new, as yet unrecorded project New Visions, which he presents with a quartet of American musicians.
Co-organizers include the Festivals in Bulgaria Association, NDK, Jazz FM Radio, and Sofia’s National Academy of Music, where the American quartet will also conduct a workshop with Bulgarian jazz talents.

He has performed at venues such as Madison Square Garden and Jazz at Lincoln Center, and on television programmes including “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, on CBS.
