CD Reviews

Quite nice first impression!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This cd has what (from what i've read) is the work of one of the best russian pianist of his generation. You can feel his classical influences as well as his european jazz & free jazz leanings. John Surman and John Christensen do a wonderful job in the impressionistic slow quiet pieces. But it's not always like this as 'City Dance' & 'Movement' show that the group (which also includes Terje Gewelt [bass], Sorensen [perc & marimba] & Alkady Shilkloper [french horn & Flugelhorn]) can handle lightning fast and dynamic written parts with virtuous aplomb. The ecm sound is to write home about. All and all a great contemporary and original composer in a great session with very fine musicians. Recommended."
