As Milutinovic, who just turned 30, explains, Veritas Vincit (from Latin “truth prevails”) is about his coming of age and finding his own truth – that the most fulfilling things in his life have happened through honest and truthful cooperation with others. In a world that has mastered competition and conflict, Veritas Vincit invites us to explore Milutinovic’s collaborative reality, an alternative imagining that, through effortless swing and flow, and a fine sense of time and rhythm, sketches a horizon of hope for greater social harmony in a truly global world. A very welcome message, as this album is released during a pandemic that knows no borders and enforces social distancing upon us, and in times when we are rediscovering the value of being part of a community and having long standing and loving relationships and collaborations.
Pedja Milutinovic is a drummer and now composer from Serbia, and a leading figure of the jazz scene in the Balkans. He is an arts activist, locally known for encouraging bottom-up organisation and mutually supportive collaborations between talented individuals in a region that has scarce resources for the arts, using the internet to overcome geographical boundaries and build new collective capabilities among musicians who share these values. Milutinovic is all about unexpected alliances and unintended outcomes. By publishing his debut album with Orenda Records, he shows us that, through collaboration, it is possible to change conditions that structure our lives no matter where we live or where we come from, and to develop languages that speak across cultures and even across continents, while respecting our different cultural influences and staying true to our origins.
