What a fine discovery! This Russian trio (piano, voice, doublebass, and everyone also play percussion) has been together for over 10 years and has released a few records, but they are still little known outside of Russia. A very fine female voice, subtlle and original creative jazz borrowing to Russian and foreign folklores (dabs of India and Arabia). The music doesn’t hesitate to delve into free improvisation, but doesn’t refrain from melodicism either. Beautiful stuff
