Creativity Quote by Miroslav Vitous

Vitous is talking like someone who has fought to keep his sound from being filed down by time, industry, or expectation. The sentence is basically a breathless itinerary, but the intent isn’t logistics; it’s reclamation. “I am touring in Europe” signals more than geography. For jazz-adjacent musicians of his generation, Europe often reads as the place where the music is still treated as serious art rather than nostalgia packaging. It’s a subtle flex: the circuit that listens.

Then he stacks formats like evidence. Trio, quartet, solo concerts. That list is a musician’s way of saying: I’m not boxed in. A trio and a quartet promise interplay, the friction and conversation of a bandstand. “Solo concerts with my symphonic sounds” tilts the frame toward authorship. He’s not just improvising; he’s orchestrating his own identity, turning the bass from supportive infrastructure into a full-spectrum instrument. “Symphonic” is doing a lot of work here: it’s the refusal of the small. It also hints at Vitous’s long-standing interest in composition and tone color, the push to make jazz instrumentation speak in a larger architectural language.

The repetition of “I am” reads like a pulse check, or a manifesto in plain clothes. “Engaged back to playing and recording and everything” carries the subtext of return: there was a time when he wasn’t fully in it, or when the world wasn’t paying attention. “Everything” is the casual word that gives away the real message: don’t call it a comeback, call it momentum.
