Jazz Ruler Type: Fusion
Performance: 4
Sound: 4
Score: 77
O’s Notes: Russian-based pianist and composer Arseny Rykov leads a very skilled trio with bassist Nikolai Olshansky and drummer Vitaliy Epov. They play a vibrant, jazz-fusion set of eight songs over 42 minutes. Among the best are “Anxiety”, “Breath” and “Broken Watch”. The goal of Forgotten Melody is to unite people and we suggest that it certainly imparts good feelings.
