Just like in jazz, impro­vi­sa­tion was also ubiq­ui­tous in Renaissance music. In the late 15^th cen­tu­ry and ear­ly 16^th cen­tu­ry, it was the lute that espe­cial­ly appealed to the imag­i­na­tion. It should there­fore come as no sur­prise that lute play­ers such as Joan Ambrosio Dalza and above all can­tori al liu­to such as Bartolomeo Tromboncino were in high demand at Europe’s best-known courts. The cel­e­brat­ed Bor Zuljan fol­lows in their foot­steps and shows how free­dom sounds in this almost entire­ly impro­vised programme.
