As top musicians on the horizon of the world jazz scene always attract those similar to themselves , legendary American trombonist Luis Bonilla has met Croatian guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Elvis Stanic, bassist Goran Rukavina , Italian drummer Paolo Muscovi , and Serbian pianist Ivan Aleksijević.
